The Kia Tigers (Korean: 기아 타이거즈) are a Korean professional baseball team founded in 1982. The Tigers are a member team of the Korean Baseball Organization and the most successful team in Korean baseball having won the national championship, the Korean Series, nine times, with a perfect 9-0 record in the series final. After the success of the 1980's and 90's, the fortunes of the team began to turn, resulting in them finishing bottom of the league for the first time in 2005, and again in 2007. They were previously known as the Haitai Tigers (해태 타이거즈). Their home stadium is Moodeung Stadium in Gwangju.
