Chien-Ming Wang Memorabilia Buying Guide

By Sean J. O'Rourke

Chien-Ming Wang has established himself as a true ace after only a handful of years at the Major League level. Born in Taiwan, Wang became a farmhand in the New York Yankees' minor-league system before the 2000 regular season. Wang immediately became the center of attention in the Yanks' farm system as he displayed a deadly slider, a nasty sinker and a fastball consistently in the high 90s. Wang was called up to pitch for the Yankees in 2005 and soon proved his worth at the big league level. During his rookie year, the developing young star went 8-5 on the season with an ERA of just over 4. After the Yanks were bounced in the first round by the Anaheim Angels later that season, Wang emerged as the team's ace in 2006. In his first full season, Wang went on to dominate the Majors by winning a league- high 19 games and finishing second in Cy Young voting to Minnesota ace Johan Santana. In 2007, Wang further establish himself as a first-class starter in the Majors as the Yankee ace came just short of his first career Cy Young award.

One of the brightest young stars in the game today, Wang has stepped to the front of the rotation for the most-popular team in the world: The New York Yankees. As Wang continues his ascent to Major League greatness, don't pass up on the opportunity to add the new Yankee ace to your collection today with our selection of authentic autographed memorabilia.
