Koshien

Shouldn't it be "Hanshin Koshien Stadium"? Osakadave 18:05, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Someone should make an ontology like the one that exists for the MLB teams on wikipedia, with uniform design for home and away and and bits of other important info on the top right of the page in its own box for all the Japanese pro teams. Migrations 03:16, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This is hardly the oldest stadium in Japan "by far". It is only 2 years older than the Meiji Jingu Stadium, where the Yakult Swallows play. Youjane1 16:00, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sister Team

"It is the sister team of the Major League baseball team Detroit Tigers and in Steven King and Stewart O'Nan's 2004 book Faithful: Two Diehard Boston Red Sox Fans Chronicle the Historic 2004 Season, the Tigers are often portrayed as the Japan Red Sox." I question this statement. There is no official "Sister Team" program, so this is no more than just stating that they have the same mascot. Furthermore, this does nothing to tell you anything about the team. If anything, this should be in a footnote or trivia section. I'd be content to just remove it, though. That they were mentioned in a Boston Red Sox 2004 season book? It just seems irrelevant. 24.13.141.176 05:56, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I question it as well for exactly the same reasons. As with any unreferenced information on Wikipedia, you should feel free to delete it. I added the {{unreferenced}} template to the top, and will work on adding citations to this article over the next few months. Vir4030 19:41, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Amid Anti-Foreign Sentiment?

The article states the following: "In 1940, amid anti-foreign sentiment, the Tigers changed the name to Hanshin and in 1947 changed the name back to Ōsaka Tigers." What does this mean exactly? How did the anti-foreign sentiment cause them to change the name of the team? This needs to be more fully explained. -- Exitmoose 04:52, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Home Away from Home

I'm watching the Tigers play a "home" game right now at the Osaka Dome. I would love to understand how this is possible. Do they play a select number of games at the Dome per year? Is this at all related to the annual high school tournament currently running at Koshien Stadium? --Do Not Talk About Feitclub (contributions) 10:01, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image of stadium

File:Osaka and Kobe Koshien ball park.JPG Just putting this image here because I am unsure where to add into the article. We need more images of this team as well, (all Japanese teams actually) if anyone has any.--Borgarde^talk 07:44, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kanemoto Tomoaki

Though he may be zainichi, he was born and raised in Japan, and is a Japanese citizen, which more than merits him having the Japanese flag next to his name. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.230.147.70 (talk) 15:31, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality

Someone changed the nalionality of Hanshin Tigers' players [1] [2]. Certainly Hiyama No.24 is a Korean borned in Japan. But they are all Japanese borned in Japan.

name and page of jawp	Nationality	Birthplace
Sekimoto Kentaro	Japan	Japan
Kanemoto Tomoaki	Japan	Japan
Kanemura Satoshi	Japan	Japan

And the evidences that they are Japanese?--195.34.138.154 (talk) 08:44, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The pages of jawp say the nationalities of Sekimoto, Kanemoto and Kanemura are Japan. (see the flags of these pages)

Sekimoto
Do you have really some evidences that he is a Korean or Korean Japanese? It's really first for me.
Kanemoto
Kanemoto was a 3rd Japanese Korean until 2001. But when he was married with Japanese lady, he changed his nationality. So he is now a Japanese borned in Hiroshima. This fact is famouse. But we don't write this information in jawp, because of WP:LIVE. (and very sensitive problem)
Kanemura
He is a new hero. So there are few information. please wait. But his birthplace is Miyagi Prefecture.
Hiyama
Famous fact. He is a Korean borned in Kyoto. And he often said his own nationality.

You have evidences but we cannot watch it. You said so in your talk page. But we have more information about Hanshin Tigers and their players' information. And we know some players are certainly Korean or Korean Japanese. But Nationality is very private information and sensitive. So we should take care of WP:LIVE. If you cannot cleary show the evidence, we should write they are Japanese. They were born in Japan. And Japanese professional baseball league considers they are Japanese player. On the other hands, the reason that they are Korean is only your mouth at present. --9 hits (talk) 10:43, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(ja)~~どうも貴方はde:Benutzer:奇行士を見る限り、日本語を母語としているようなので、~~拙い英語と一緒に日本語も書きます。まず彼らは日本で生まれ育って、球団と球界が彼らを日本人として扱っています。それであれば、彼らは日本出身として扱うのが妥当です。出身を書くにはその程度の情報があれば十分です。もちろん、桧山のように自分の国籍を本人が主張するなりすれば、それは当然尊重すべきです。でなければ、あやふやな情報を元に話し合いも無く、いきなり変更されても無理があります。またWP:LIVEがありますから、当然中途半端な証拠では駄目です。そもそも、「証拠を出せ、こっちはあるんだ」という割には口情報だけで、なにも出してきていないですよね。そもそも、編集合戦をしようとする前に、話し合いをしようとして下さい。--9 hits (talk) 11:54, 6 August 2008 (UTC)--+ del--9 hits (talk) 16:42, 8 August 2008 (UTC) [reply]

Sorry I cannot understand at all. Please write in English. And What did I edit?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.34.138.154 (talk) 18:03, 6 August 2008 (UTC) [reply]

Their birthplaces are Japan, and Hanshin Tigers and Japanese baseball League are treating them Japanese players. If you want to write some players' nationality are KOR, Please show the evidences.--9 hits (talk) 07:57, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge from To Lucky

The conclusion of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lucky (mascot) was to merge it and To Lucky here. One was redirecred already due to lack of sources. Second one has a few, but not impressive. Thoghts? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:50, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

[Curse of the Colonel Subsection]

The main article about The Curse of the Colonel shows the correct date, October the 16th, but this article seems to imply that the Colonel got thrown off the bridge on November the 2nd which is the wrong date. ChipsPacketLover (talk) 14:14, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I read through the whole article and could not find the reference to the date you indicated was mistated. I did not see the November 2 date and did not make any changes. Jurisdicta (talk) 03:01, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
