as i mentioned elsewhere, albeit in a rambling sense.... my nickname for this whitesox season popped up around june/july or whenever the tigers first walked up and forcefully kicked them in the genitals, fucked their wives and mistresses, then drove off in one of their cars:

The Bataan Death March Tagalog: Martsa ng Kamatayan (Japanese:Batān Shi no Kōshin (バターン死の行進?)) (1942) was the forcible transfer, by the Imperial Japanese Army, of 60,000 Filipino and 15,000 American prisoners of war after the three-month Battle of Bataan in the Philippines during World War II. All told, approximately 2,500–10,000 Filipino and 300–650 American prisoners of war died before they could reach Camp O'Donnell. Death tolls vary, especially amongst Filipino POWs, because historians cannot determine how many prisoners blended in with the civilian population and escaped.
The 128 km (80 mi) march was characterized by wide-ranging physical abuse and murder, and resulted in very high fatalities inflicted upon prisoners and civilians alike by the Japanese Army, and was later judged by an Allied military commission to be a Japanese war crime.
honestly, i was so in the zone with this one that i had no idea i was pretty much spot on of the timing of when the death march started after all of the fighting. lucky guess, eh?
