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.
Chien-Ming Wang struggles as New York Yankees fall, 7-5, to Baltimore Orioles
BALTIMORE -- Through the first two games of the season, the revamped New York Yankees rotation has posted these unsightly numbers: 14.63 ERA, 17 hits, eight walks, zero strikeouts. Still, after the Yankees 7-5 loss to the Baltimore Orioles, manager Joe Girardi refused to show any signs of panic.
"We have 160 left," he said. "There's a lot of baseball to be played."
There's reason for hope. The Yankees started a season 0-2 for the first time since 1998, when they began 1-4. That team bounced back to finish with 114 victories, then an American League record. This team? Only time will tell.

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…
