[edit] Test

Shih Chih-wei (traditional Chinese: 石志偉; pinyin: Shí Zhìwěi; Wade-Giles: Shíh Chìh-wěi; born August 14, 1977) is a Taiwanese baseball player for the La New Bears. He played for the amateur Taiwan Cooperative Bank baseball team before being drafted by the La New Bears of the Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL).

[edit] Early life

Shih Chih-wei was born in Alishan, Chiayi County, to a aboriginal family of Tsou tribal ancestry.[1] He has been playing baseball since elementary school and graduated from the Taipei Physical Education College.

A member of the Taiwan Cooperative Bank baseball team, Shih was chosen to play in the 2003 World Port Tournament as a member of the national team.[2]

[edit] Professional career

Shih was drafted by professional team La New Bears in 2004. In his professional debut, he got his first career base hit against the Brother Elephants. His first career home run took place in Chengching Lake Baseball Field and was an inside-the-park home run.[3]

He became the first player from the team to receive a monthly Most Valuable Player award.[4] Though a rookie, Shih was selected to play in the 2004 CPBL All-Star Game as starting third baseman.[5]

Along with teammate Lin Chih-sheng, the two are often referred to as the "Sheng-Shih Connection,"[6] which is derived from glove puppet film Legend of the Sacred Stone (Wade-Giles: Shèng-shíh Ch'uán-shuō). The two players played in the CPBL Future All-Star Game, which is a game with professional rookies playing against amateurs, and had a combined 7-for-8 performance.[7]
