You may be more used to seeing him in pinstripes rather than a tuxedo, but that's Yankees pitcher Chien-Ming Wang ("a man unlike any other ...") dancing the tango. Thanks to the investigative minds at Sports by Brooks, we learned that Wang is the official spokesman for the 2009 World Games, which will be held in Kaohsiung, a city in Wang's home country of Taiwan.
I don't know about you, but I'm excited to learn more about the Games and Taiwan, a country that apparently has sports like underwater mermaid swimming and a culture that encourages spontaneous dancing on their shipping docks.
I don't know about the shipping docks, but it is not unusual to see "pick up" ballroom dancing (not to mention informal dance classes) in city parks in Taipei. Wang is the ideal spokesman for this, as he is currently the pride of the island.
