On September 13, 2022, the Hanshin Tigers official Twitter apologized for mistaking the team name of “Orix Buffaloes” when releasing a message video from Yoshio Itoi, who announced his retirement.
“I am very sorry. I will apologize and correct it.”
Around 15:00 on the 13th, Hanshin’s official Twitter released a video of Itoi along with the comment, “A message from #Yoshio Itoi, who announced his retirement, to all the fans!” The name of the team Itoi has belonged to has been introduced with the hashtag “#Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters #Orix Buffaloes #Hanshin Tigers”.
About an hour after this tweet, “# Orix Buffaloes” and the name of Orix’s team were corrected from “Buffaloes” to “Buffaloes”. “I am very sorry. I will apologize and correct it,” he apologized.
In response to this “unfortunate mistake” on SNS, “It’s too rude. It’s impossible”, “This is a felony”, “If the official makes this mistake, it’s absolutely wrong!” There are times when you say that it is safe, so there are many posts one after another.
