Seems like a weird thing to do, just throw it away?

No collectors in Japan? Seems like having a charity auction and donating all proceeds to charity or something would have been a fun promotion, or something along those lines.

New curse is sure to follow! 🤣

True. They were choosing people in the crowd who looked like each Tigers player, then making that guy jump in the river. When they came to Bass there weren’t any gaijin in the crowd, so the Colonel was accepted as a substitute.
