Chin-Feng Chen

Chin-Feng Chen (b. October 28, 1977, in Tainan City, Taiwan) (Traditional Chinese: ???; pinyin: Chén J?nf?ng) is a baseball outfielder who was the first player born in the Republic of China (Taiwan) to play in Major League Baseball with the Los Angeles Dodgers. During parts of the 2002 to 2004 seasons, the Dodgers have called him up to the majors, but he has only played sparingly. In 2005, when they did the same thing with him, Chen wondered openly whether to refuse an assignment back to their AAA team, the Las Vegas 51s to instead try to catch on with another major league team or return to play for the Chinese Professional Baseball League in Taiwan, but eventually did agree to return to Las Vegas.
