I was at the Yankee game on Saturday to see my Taiwanese bro Chien Ming Wang Mariners-Yankees game. I did not realize that Chien-Ming Wang was trying to throw a perfect game. After watching David Wells and David Cone each throw perfect games my heart can no longer take the excitement it brings, and whenever a Yankee pitcher is trying to make history.

I'm sure that everyone in Taiwan saw his every pitch, watching every game he appears in. Chien-Ming Wang is a national hero in Taiwan, so important, in fact, that he made the Time 100, in the category of Heroes & Pioneers. Whenever he pitches, the small country comes together, putting aside their political differences to cheer him on.

I can only imagine what it would have been like there had Wang actually pitched that perfect game. Pandemonium in the streets Green and the Blue celebrating as one, that would have been nice. We might even see "Wang for President" T-shirts, like how we see "Pedro for President" here in the USA.

Broussard broke up the perfecto, with a Home Run, quickly pulling himself together and finishing the eighth inning. After the game Wang claimed he didn't know he was pitching a perfect game until someone brought it to his attention, but he also said he didn't understand why no one would go near him when he was sitting in the dugout. He's still the Yankees ace and the pride of Taiwan, and definably my Yankee hero.
