Nippon Professional Baseball

best team in the Kaiju Baseball League.

The Osaka Tigers were a Japanese professional baseball team founded on December 10, 1935, playing their first season in 1936. In 1940, amid anti-foreign sentiment, the Tigers changed the name to the Hanshin Tigers, and in 1947 changed the name back to Osaka Tigers. The team name was once again changed back to Hanshin Tigers in 1961, and remains the team name to this day, making them the second-oldest professional club in Japan. The Tigers' home field has been Koshien Stadium since day one, a venue considered to be sacred ground not just fans of the Tigers, but for Japanese baseball fans everywhere.

On August 31, midway through the 1937 fall season, Dai Tokyo changed its name to the Lion Baseball Club when it was acquired by Komajiro Tamura, with sponsorship by Lion Toothpaste. Late in the 1940 season, the Japan Baseball League outlawed English nicknames (due to rising tensions with the West). Owner Tamura refused to change the team's name, insisting that "Lion" is Japanese (In actuality, he wanted to honor the team's sponsorship contract with the Lion Corporation.)

The team began as the Taiyo Fishing Company, an amateur team currently affiliated with the Maruha Corporation. The team name was changed to the Taiyō Whales (大洋ホエールズ, Taiyō Hoeeruzu) shortly after the start of the 1950 season. The Whales received several veteran players from the Yomiuri Giants to compensate for their lack of players, but ended up in the bottom half of the standings each year. In 1951, there was talk of merging with the Hiroshima Carp, which had experienced serious financial problems but the merging never occurred due to massive protests from Hiroshima citizens.
