TIGERS, TIGERS, TIGER, FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!!

Last week I went to a great Hanshin Tigers vs Tokyo Swalllows (he...he...) game... well okay the game itself wasn't great as they lost something like 10 -1 but the tigers are well known for having the best fans in all of Japan. One of the first times I ever got the local omi train (where trains run slower that you do!) we met a guy completely decked out in Yellow, including MASSIVE yellow trousers and I mean so big I actually though he might have a few extra fans hidden away in there. Anyway unlike English football games ( a little part of me dies when I use the term "soccer") fans are allowed to bring in instruments, massive flags, balloons and various other clapper things. Anyway here's a video of the top of the Lucky number 7 innings where all the Tigers fans blow up giant balloons and then lets them go all at once.




Oh and the other year the Tigers managed to finally break a curse from 1985 involving Randy Bass, the KFC Colonel, and a river. I think its probably best if you read this
