YAKYU Longueuil

About Us

In 1963, there was a Japanese baseball team known as YAKYU CICADAS.  They were very popular with the whole city and the stadium was sold out for every home game.  One of the stadium’s most popular attractions, aside from the team, was the fried chicken stand owned by the Blind Chicken Farmer.  People lined up to taste the special blend of spices, the quality and the love he put into every bite. But a dark side hovered over the team…

For 24 consecutive years, the Cigales finished every season with a 0-64 record.  Yes, they never won a single game.  The townspeople didn’t care, because they still had excitement and reason to rejoice!  The team was disbanded in 1987 when the league president had had enough, “I can’t keep a team that can’t win a game in our league any longer.  It’s a shame for Japan”.  He made the decision to put an end to the Cigales.  The townspeople were devastated, what would they do without their beloved team?  The blind chicken farmer had an idea!  He bought the franchise and turned his popular fried chicken stand into a brick-and-mortar store called YAKYU FRIED CHICKEN.  He would hire all the players to work in his restaurant as they had no more jobs.  At first the players were completely against the idea and tried to be traded with other teams.  But since the players were so horrible that no team wanted them, they reluctantly accepted the job.  THE END!
