"The statue was thrown into the river in 1985 by excited fans, overjoyed that the Hanshin Tigers had won the Central League championship for the first time in 21 years.

But the Hyogo-based team quickly returned to form, failing to win another pennant until 2003. Baseball lovers across the country jokingly placed the blame on "the curse of Colonel Sanders."

Tiger fans were drawn to the statue owing to its supposed resemblance to Randy Bass, a bearded American slugger who helped turn the team around."






I'm not really seeing it.

The colonel can only represent half of the Chicken and Waffles combo. What rank is the Waffles guy?
