Japan's Lovable Losers - A Brief History of the Hanshin Tigers 

The Hanshin Tigers have won the Japan Series for their second title since 1985! The curse of Colonel Sanders has finally been lifted.

And now we need an update. The Colonel has forgiven everything and the world is at peace.

Who else is here after the Tigers ended the Curse of the Colonel???

Curse of the Colonel Sanders (1985-2023) Tigers won the 2023 Japan Series 4 games to 3 in seven

YOUR 2023 JAPAN SERIES CHAMPIONSSSSSS

Hanshin may be the little brother to the mammoth from Tokyo in terms of on field success, but the team is still arguably has the best atmosphere and one of the most passionate fan bases you could ask for in Japan. Especially when they play out of Koshien. It's just a shame that owners of the team are just so damn cheap. Great video as always, Gaijin Baseball.

It's finally been lifted

Hahahaha the constant Colonel Sanders fade-ins and outs are just great.

Stumbled upon the Hashin Tigers while watching Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations in Osaka, and decided they felt a lot like the Philadelphia Phillies in the USA. Decided to get a hat the next day. I'm a Tiger's fan for life. Feels like our sister team across the Pacific!

Let's Go Tigers 🐯

>Last championship was in the 80s >Once in a while deep playoff run >Notorious penny pinching owners >Mess of a front office Sound exactly like my Mets (until we got new owners but we still suck😔)

Well….would you look at that?

Finally, Hanshin Tigers became a winner!

I`ve been following this Club since 2002. Hanshin Tigers Problem. Huge Baseball Club being run by and like a small railroad company and it won`t change.

My team! Go tigers 🐯

Looks like Hankyu wants to revisit the days of the Braves by inserting Okada back into the managerial position.

My Favorite team thanks!

When my dad went to Japan for a business trip back in 2015 he brought back a Hanshin Tigers shirt and hat for me, and although they no longer fit me, the Tigers are still my favorite NPB team. If there’s a way for me to stream NPB in North America, I’d really like to watch them. Also my dad likes the Hiroshima Toyo Carp because his favorite MLB team is the Cincinnati Reds and the logos look almost exactly identical. I wonder if I can wear a Carp hat to Great American Ball Park and pass it off as a Reds hat (even with the NPB logo on the back).

Hanshin Tigers, your 2023 Japan Series champions!

How ironic that you use the footage of Seibu Dome full of Hanshin fans for "Wind of Mt.Rokko".

Its time for an update video

I prefer the Giants but I can't hate the Tigers, they are so lovable, everything about them is fantastic: their stadium, their uniforms, their fans, etc

Very informative and well done! I am slowly making my way through all your 'brief history' videos and increasing my knowledge of Japanese baseball.

Hey!! That's the team that a local Japanese resto in Makati in the Philippines supports, they have Tigers memorabilla and a flag. Pretty much the reason I got into the NPB in 2021, but also because of the Olympics.

This was the first NPB team I knew off thanks to a japanese book named The Housekeeper and the professor. Good to know about their full history.

first video I have seen from you, insta sub !

Suddenly have an urge to get KFC and I have no idea why......🐔

Just a few things to nitpick at. Gene Bacque did not really contribute to the pennant in 1962. He joined the team midyear and his numbers were not that great. It was definitely Murayama and Koyama. The statue of the Colonel was discovered in 2009 which makes me wonder why it came after Matt Murton (2010) in the video. Not trying to take away from the video and the work you put into it because it's quite outstanding.

Legacy of failure official gone!

Was awesome buddy See how foreign people just love all American people do this is a great job you did on this buddy

Awesome video. Go Hawks! The original Osaka team.

素晴らしいショートドキュメンタリーですね。ありがとう！ カーネルサンダースさんがついにお許しになられたwww あと、奥浩哉の話ではあれは宇宙人ですからね（＾ω＾）

Losers No More Since Last Night! 😎👍⚾️🍻🇯🇵

Fun fact the parent company of the Tigers; the Hanshin Electric Railway corp. merged with Hankyu Railway, the former owners of the Hankyu Braves (aka Orix Buffaloes) in the early 2000s so technically it’s the Hankyu Tigers lol

Mmm... KFC

their front office really is killing their chances

More like lovable winners!

Does anybody know where to watch Japanese baseball when your in the usa

Great. Now I want KFC.

so they’re the mets?
