Ok, we finally have an update on the former junior NT star. The young man (represented by Jerry Sung - the self-proclaimed "Jerry Maguire" of Asia) recently had a showcase here in Los Angeles. He exhibited his wares during a JC exhibition game in front of several MLB scouts. Huang, who's been clocked in the low to mid 90's in the past, reportedly hit 90 mph on only one pitch during his session. While I'm pulling for the kid to get his shot here in the US, I'm concerned about his decline in velocity.
On to today's scores:

maybe he has been tired or fatigued lately. Hope nothing is wrong with his arm.
I am a fan of the Chinatrust Whales team. Where can I buy Whales shirts and hats in the United States?
I doubt you can, maybe on the net somewhere.
Could you possibly start posting attendance figures with the scores? I'd like to keep track of them.
-Hope so too.
-I'm not aware of anyplace in the US that sells CPBL attire.
-You can find attendance #'s in the box scores located on the CBPL web site. The attendance tally is directly above the duration of the game.
