On Episode 14, we talk about crazy and odd baseball facts that we found. My favorite involves a Japanese Baseball team, the Hanshin Tigers. They are believed to be cursed by Colonel Sanders. Yes, the Colonel Sanders of KFC! In 1985, the team won the Japan Championship Series. A group of zealous fans threw a store front statue of the Colonel into the Dontonbori River. The team has appeared in the 2003, 2005 and 2014 Japan Series and has lost all three times. Is the curse real? You be the judge. Listen to Episode 14 for more crazy and odd baseball facts you won’t believe!
The statue, well some of the statue, was
recovered in 2009.
