Wang reunites with teammate Karstens in Taiwan
NEW YORK -- It would be easy to overlook Chien-Ming Wang during the summer, the right-hander keeping a low profile between opportunities to throw his trademark heavy sinker to big league lineups.

Chien-Ming Wang
What’s it like trying to hit a bowling ball with a baseball bat? Just ask anyone who has faced Chien-Ming Wang. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a hitter who enjoys the All-Star pitcher’s heavy-handed tactics. Born in Taiwan and raised by adoptive parents, the New York Yankees ace learned his signature delivery four years after he arrived in the States. Now he splits more wood than a lumberjack. Back in his homeland, Chien-Ming has become a national hero. In his new home in the Bronx, he is equally adored. Chien-Ming has proven that what goes down can be amazingly uplifting. This is his story…

Heroes - Made in Taiwan
When asked to list Taiwan’s heroes, many people automatically pick Taiwan’s sporting greats such as pitching ace Wang Chien-ming of the New York Yankees. To be sure, Wang is a genuine hero, having helped bring better awareness of Taiwan to millions of people around the world while breaking international baseball records. And Wang is not alone. Other sporting heroes from Taiwan include Kevin Lin, one of the most well known endurance athletes in Asia who with team mates, in February 2007 became the first modern runner to cross the Sahara Desert.
Link exchange
A link exchange (also known as a banner exchange) is a confederation of websites that operates similarly to a web ring. Webmasters register their web sites with a central organization, that runs the exchange, and in turn receive from the exchange HTML code which they insert into their web pages. In contrast to a web ring, where the HTML code simply comprises simple circular ring navigation hyperlinks, in a link exchange the HTML code causes the display of banner advertisements, for the sites of other members of the exchange, on the member web sites, and webmasters have to create such banner advertisements for their own web sites.[1][2][3]

It's a Magical Year for New York Yankees Tickets
Riverdale, NJ (PRWEB) September 23, 2009 -- It's the end of the baseball season and with their winning record, New York Yankees tickets (http://www.selectaticket.com/tickets/mlb/new-york-yankees.asp#yankees) are the hottest tickets in baseball right now, according to SelectATicket.com. Yankee fans are watching and rooting for the Yankees to make the World Series.
This is the first season for the Yankees in the new Yankee Stadium. What better way to open the building than with a championship season? Eight baseball teams will make the playoffs - four each in the American and National Leagues. The three division champs and one wild card - which is the team with the best record that does not win a division - qualify for the postseason.
"The Yankees are currently in 1st place in the American League East. They hold a 5 game lead over Boston with just under two weeks remaining," said Mark Gibbons, who's responsible for internet sales at SelectATicket.com.
Other teams looking to win their divisions in the American League are the Detroit Tigers in the Central Division and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in the West," said Gibbons.
On the National League side the West Division's Los Angeles Dodgers currently have the best record. The East's Philadelphia Phillies and the St. Louis Cardinals in the NL Central Division are also having strong seasons.
Three of the star/most popular players on the Yankees are Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriquez and Mariano Rivera. However the die-hard Yankee fans in the bleacher section, affectionately dubbed the "Bleacher Creatures", will do their roll call each game, in calling out every player by name until that player acknowledges them with a wave. They perform a variety of chants throughout the game -- a tradition which carried over from the original Yankee Stadium.
Already a historically significant season with the opening of the new stadium, 2009 held another major event for Yankees fans -- a new franchise record was set. On September 11, 2009 vs. the Baltimore Orioles, Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter set the all-time record for most base hits by a New York Yankee when he collected his 2,722nd hit. This surpassed the previous record that has been held by Lou Gehrig since 1939.
