Plot.

The first and only Taiwanese player for the New York Yankees, Chien-Ming Wang held many titles: American League Wins Leader, World Series Champion, Olympian, Time 100 Most Influential, and The Pride of Taiwan. He had it all - until a 2008 injury forever altered the course of his career. Late Life: The Chien-Ming Wang Story - named after the late sinking action on his signature pitch - follows the rise and fall of the international icon as he fights his way back into the Major Leagues through endless rehab programs and lengthy stints away from home, carrying the weight of the world on his battered shoulder. A poignant and intimate account of Wang’s steadfast quest, Late Life tells the story of a man who is unwilling to give up and unable to let go.

Wiki.

Late Life: The Chien-Ming Wang Story is a 2018 Taiwanese-American documentary film directed by Frank W Chen. The film follows the latter years of professional baseball pitcher Chien-Ming Wang, the first and only Taiwanese to be signed by the New York Yankees, as he struggles to make it back into the Major Leagues after a series of career-changing injuries. It is a story of a man who is unwilling to give up and unable to let go, as told by those closest to him, examining his roles as an international player, a father, a son, and a reluctant national icon.

The film premiered on May 9, 2018, at the 34th Annual Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival (LAAPFF). It was featured at the 36th Annual Center for Asian American Media Festival (CAAMFest) in San Francisco on May 12, 2018; the 41st Asian American International Film Festival (AAIFF) in New York City on July 29, 2018; the 13th Annual Orlando Film Festival on October 24, 2018; the 22nd Annual Vancouver Asian Film Festival (VAFF) on November 3, 2018; and the 55th Annual Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival in November 2018. Late Life began a limited theatrical run in the United States in October 2018 and was released into Taiwanese theatres in December of the same year.
