Hanshin Tigers

Hanshin Tigers, a Japanese professional baseball team, lost the Central League pennant in 2008. At the point of August, Hanshin was more than 10 games ahead of the others; however, Yomiuri Giants came from behind and finally won the pennant.

Media praise it as a "legend", but it is ridiculous. The Yomiuri team collected many powerful players from other teams regardless of expense, like NY Yankees. Simply a cruiser failed to beat a battleship. I would cheer for the Hanshin during playoff (climax series).
