Taiwanese star Chang Tai-shan on Saturday ended his stellar career in memorable fashion by hitting a grand slam in his final trip to the plate for the Adelaide Bite in the Australian Baseball League (ABL).
In the season-ending game with the bases loaded in the eighth, Chang in his last at-bat drilled an offering from Sydney Blue Sox pitcher Liam Holm over the left-field fence, sending his teammates to the plate before savoring his own cross.
Chang’s grand slam stretched Adelaide’s lead to 8-1 and ended the record-holder’s career in Taiwan’s CPBL, as it was known that the 41-year-old would retire at the end of the ABL season.
Saturday was the last day of the season for Adelaide, as they did not make the playoffs. They were playing a two-game series at home at Active Displays Stadium.
