Chien-Ming Wang’s Return to the Majors is Cause for Celebration, Breakfast
If you love the fairness of the groundball or just love making sophomoric weiner jokes, then you may want to fly out Taipei for Wang’s first start in over two years.
From Focus Taiwan:
“Citizens have been invited to gather at Taipei City Hall to watch a live stream of the Nationals home game against the New York Mets live at 7 p.m. EST (7 a.m. Taiwan time), Taipei city government announced Friday.
The city government will co-host a “party” that begins at 6 a.m. for fans to cheer for the Taiwanese right-hander in front of a large screen as three local sports channels will also begin their broadcasts.
Fans are encouraged to support Wang with body painting or posters, said the city sports office. Fifteen Nationals jerseys will be given away to the most creative displays.”
Whoa, free breakfast? Sign me up.
In all honesty, this is a very cool gesture as it’s always exciting to see baseball celebrated, whatever the reason. I can only hope that the Taipei stream is the same MLB.tv one that I receive, subjecting the town center to “I bought a weather balloon with points!” repeated ad nauseum.
