Curse of the Colonel
"Curse of the Colonel" is one of the urban myths in Japan.
In 1985, fans of the Hanshin Tigers throew a statue of Colonel Sanders into athe river.
This is past tense so we use "threw" here. "a river" is correct but "the river" sounds more natural to me.
Hanshin Tigers is a baseball team and won the league championship at thate time.
Your sentence is correct. Here's an alternative.
After that, however, the team faell into poor results and hasn't been at the top inof the Japanese league.
or
After that, however, the team fell into poor performance and hasn't been at the top of the Japanese league.
The statue was found in 2009 whileduring river maintenance work and the finder misunderperson who found it mistoodk it asfor a dead body.
We don't usually use the word, "finder," in this type of sentence. This sentence sounds more natural to me.
