Re: Curse of the Colonel (Sanders)
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] In 1985, much to Japanese people's surprise,[2] the Hanshin Tigers faced the Seibu Lions and took their first and only victory in the Japan Championship Series, largely due to star slugger Randy Bass,[4] a gaijin (foreigner) player for the team. [/ QUOTE ] Does gaijin really translate simply as foreigner? Whenever I read the word in literature, there always seems to be a slight insult intended. I figured it meant more like, "foreign barbarian". [/ QUOTE ] This is confirmed in the movie "The Fast and the Furious 3: Tokyo Drift."
