Tigers fans assert it is because of these still-missing pieces that the curse is still in place. The legs and right hand were recovered the next day, but the left hand and glasses are still missing. He was missing his legs, hands, and glasses when pulled from the murky waters of the Dotonburi. The statue was recovered from the river in 2009, but it had deteriorated pretty greatly in the interceding years. Since that time, fans feel the team has been plagued by "the curse of the Colonel," which is to say, the Tigers have not won another championship. After the championship, some rowdy fans decided that a statue of Colonel Sanders outside a local KFC looked enough like the Tigers' American first baseman Randy Bass that he should go in the river too. Tigers fans often jump in Osaka's Dotonburi River to celebrate wins. Here's the short version of the story, as reported by NBC News. Osaka's baseball team, the Hanshin Tigers, won the national championship in 1985. Edison failed 10,000 times before inventing the light bulb, similarly Colonel Sanders spent the next nine years (now that’s dedication) perfecting his secret blend of 11 herbs and spices, as well as the basic cooking technique KFC still use today. Bob Barker was one for some reason.) Sanders was declared a colonel by Governor Ruby Laffoon in 1935 and then got re-upped in 1949 because his chicken was just that good. This story is about Colonel Harland Sander the man who founded KFC. ( Lots of famous people get named Kentucky Colonels. He was, indeed, a Kentucky Colonel, which is the highest honorary title bestowed by the governor of Kentucky. So was he lying about being a colonel? Is that a thing you can go to jail for? (Apparently no, unless you wear medals or uniforms you didn't earn.) But, no, he wasn't lying about being a colonel. Suffice it to say, this was not enough time for him to ascend to the rank of colonel, which is pretty high up there.
While Sanders' autobiography does not mention why, chances are good it was because they figured out he was 16. He served in Cuba but only for about six months before he was honorably discharged.
As History relates, he lied about his age to join the Army in 1906 at age 15 or 16. It’s estimated that about 5 billion people have visited a KFC restaurant at some point, and on any given day, 8 of the Earth’s population will visit a KFC. But while it's true that Harland Sanders did serve in the Army, he wasn't that kind of colonel. KFC was founded by Colonel Harland Sanders, who tried his luck in different professions around 1930.
