Late Life: The Chien-Ming Wang Story

Summary: Ace of the New York Yankees, American League Wins Leader, World Series Champion, TIME 100 Most Influential selection, Cy Young Award runner-up, Olympian, and The Pride of Taiwan, Chien-Ming Wang had it all, until injuries altered the course of his life and career. We find Chien-Ming now at age 35, bouncing around the minors, a fallen icon. Late Life follows Chien-Ming as he tries to fight his way back into the Major Leagues -- the endless rehab programs, the lengthy and lonely stints away from his family, and the weight he carries on his injured shoulders. How much persistence does it take to realize a dream? How much courage does it take to make it back? A poignant account of an international player, a father, a son, and a national icon, Late Life is the story of a man who is unwilling to give up and unable to let go.
