Description: 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.
