Ace of the New York Yankees, American League Wins Leader, World Series Champion, TIME 100 Most Influential, Cy Young Award runner-up, Olympian, and The Pride of Taiwan, Chien-Ming Wang had it all, until injuries altered the course of his life and career. We find Wang now at age 35, bouncing around the minors, a fallen icon. Late Life follows Wang as he tries to fight his way back into the Major Leagues through endless rehab programs, lengthy and lonely stints away from home, with the weight he carries on his injured shoulders. How much persistence does it take to realize a dream? How much courage does it take to make it back? A poignant account of an international player, a father, a son, and a national icon, Late Life is the story of a man who is unwilling to give up and unable to let go.
