Simple movie with an inspiring true story.

To be honest, It's not a super fancy movie but it's absolutely a GREAT one telling the true story of a significant Taiwanese baseball player - Chien-Ming Wang.

I am not a baseball fan, so I didn't really know his story before I watched the movie; however, I literally feel/understand his frustration when I saw the movie - He was trying so hard to prove he could still make it, for YEARS, and he didn't quit before he reached his limitation. I wasn't a fan of Chien-Ming Wang, but now I am.

It simply represents the Taiwanese spirit, and Wang's story encourages me to keep fighting for my dream and NEVER give up. You can find tons of inspiring stories out there, but it's not that easy to find a true one that makes you feel 'This is real, and I am gonna fight for my life too'.

Authentic and inspiring behind-the-scenes story of a once superstar athlete

You really get to "meet" Chieng-Ming Wang from this documentary.

I've been a fan of him since I was living in Taiwan during his peak years as the NY Yankee's Ace pitcher. Like most people, I've only known him as that celebrity athlete that everyone sees on TV.

However, little do people recognize, like everyone else in this world experiences, he goes through struggles and adversities in life too. The movie introduces the normal human that Chien Ming Wang is, and it is truly inspiring and emotional to see the humble and persistent side of him.

How you face with up and down thru his story

I cried, for all those sweet memories for CMW's fantastic Yankee journey, it was whole TWness people's stories, it was also each of their own story, we miss the old times when we were young, so I cried. But also cried for watching his the one and the only purpose- to pitch again. Who wouldn't struggle and be pain and fear to lose everything? he fight for that with his unique character, also gave audience lots of courages.

Authentic and inspiring behind-the-scenes story of a once superstar athlete

You really get to "meet" Chien Ming Wang in this documentary.

I've been a fan of him since the time I was living in Taiwan during his peak years as a NY Yankees Ace pitcher. Like most people, I knew of him as the celebrity athlete, "National Hero of Taiwan", "Pride of Taiwan", that we see on TV.

However, the movie does a great job of exposing the Chien Ming Wang as a normal human being going through struggles and adversities just like we all do in life.

The film takes us through his journey of his rise to success with the Yankees, but mainly focuses on the after-peak years of his careers in the minors, fighting to climb back into the big league. It is truly inspiring and great to learn of the humble and persistent side of him all because of his baseball dream.

Dope?

This was an inspiring documentary. It highlights what it takes to be exceptional. No magic. No gifted attributes. Simply tenacious, focused, hard work and an indomitable spirit. Tremendous.

Random thought: Considering Taiwan's cross-strait relations with China, and Chen-Ming's status as a national hero in his country - was he ever tested for drug-induced tendonitis?
