Pennant Collapses?
I recently got into a discussion with some friends about some classic American pennant race collapses-- the 1951 Brooklyn Dodgers, '64 Philadelphia Phillies, '78 Boston Red Sox-- and it made me wonder if there have been any comparable collapses in the Nippon league history.

You don't have to go very far back for an historic pennant collapse. In 2008, the Tigers lost about a 15 game lead to the Giants. The eerie thing is it was 30 years after the Red Sox similar collapse to the Yankees in '78. There was at least a happy ending--the Giants lost a classic Japan Series to the Lions that year.
