Taiwan News reports:

Star pitcher Chien-ming Wang and pianist Meng-chieh Liu were among 10 people who were selected Monday as the 10 most outstanding young men and women in Taiwan for 2008.

Wang, a Taiwan-born starting pitcher for the New York Yankees, was chosen in recognition of his outstanding performance in the United States major leagues, said Legislative Yuan Speaker Wang Jin-pyng, who was on the panel of judges.

Wang wins... and Wang is on the judging panel? Conspiracy! Jokes aside, congrats to him.
