Back in 1985, the Hanshin Tigers were Central League Champions. It would be the last time. Tiger fans have endured years of disappointment but now they have renewed hope.
This week, divers recovered the remains of a statue of KFC founder Colonel Sanders from a river in Osaka, Japan. The statue was cast into the river during a celebration of the Tiger's 1985 championship because it resembled the likeness of one of their American players. Many believe the team has been cursed since the Colonel went for a swim because the Tigers have failed to claim the championship for nearly 25 years. Last season, the Tigers lost in the championship round and it was determined that the Colonel must be exhumed!
Is the curse broken??? Only time will tell.
