Yankees sign two Chinese players
2007-06-18 10:43
by Bob Timmermann

The New York Yankees became the first team to sign players from China (the big one with the wall and all that) today. Both are 19-year olds and they are named Kai Liu and Zhenwang Zhang.

Liu is a pitcher and Zhang is a catcher.

The only major leaguer who was born in China (big version) was also a Yankee, Harry Kingman.

Kingman attended the same high school as Jon Weisman, although several years earlier. And I also believe there are a few Pomona College alums who visit this site besides my brother.

Zhang is often spelled Chang, as in the tennis player Michael Chang. I wonder if his name will be butchered once he becomes a big league star.

May he be good enough to get the chance to have his name butchered.
