The Asahi Tigers were a Japanese-Canadian baseball team established in 1914. The team went on to great success, particularly in the 1930s, winning numerous tournaments and championships. The team was based in Vancouver's Oppenheimer Park, in the city’s Japantown. The team was disbanded due to its members being dispersed across Canada due to the Japanese Canadian internment during World War II. In June 2009, the City of Vancouver announced that it intends to remove the baseball diamond in Oppenheimer Park on which the Tigers played as part of a "renovation" of the park. All that will be left in the place of the diamond is a "commemorative backstop" to honour the team.[1] The team was inducted into the BC Sports Hall of Fame in 2005.[2] Sleeping Tigers: The Asahi Baseball Story Jari Osborne directed a 2003 documentary about the team, Sleeping Tigers: The Asahi Baseball Story. Produced by the National Film Board of Canada, the documentary combines archival film and dramatic recreations, along with interviews with the last of the Asahi. The 50 minute film garnered four awards including a Rockie Award for Best Sports Program at the Banff Television Festival and a Golden Sheaf Award.[3][4] References ^ Moscato, Derek (June 15, 2009).
