Team Orca Pillows
Description: Are you team orca? Killer whales are attacking yachts and sinking boats all over Europe, England, Gibraltar and Spain. This funny hand drawn illustration of an orca whale sinking a yacht has the funny phrase "Vini. Vidi. Navis submergi," which is latin for I came, I saw, I sank boats.
Description: In 1978, the team moved to the newly-completed Yokohama Stadium in central Yokohama. The team name was changed to the Yokohama Taiyō Whales (横浜大洋ホエールズ, Yokohama Taiyō Hoeeruzu) to reflect the team's new home town. The Kokudo Company sold its shares of the team to the Nippon Broadcasting System and TBS. The Nippon Broadcasting System obtained 30% of the shares, and TBS bought 15%, while Taiyo kept its 55%. The team enjoyed far more popularity during this period than in previous years, but continued to post only meager results in the standings, with their best placing being in 1979, when they finished second behind the Hiroshima Toyo Carp.
