Wikipedia - Wei Chuan Dragons

The Wei Chuan Dragons (Chinese: 味全龍; pinyin: Wèiquán Lóng; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Bī-chôan-liông) are a professional baseball team in Taiwan's Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL) that originally existed between 1990 and 1999. In 2019, negotiations were held to revive the franchise and return to the CPBL. The team played one season of minor league baseball in 2020 and rejoined the CPBL in 2021.

The Dragons won the Taiwan Series championship five times, in 1990, 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2023.

History

Wei Chuan Dragons uniform

Wei Chuan Dragons had a long amateur history when its parent company, the Wei Chuan Foods Corporation, started sponsoring Chinese Culture University's baseball team in the late 1970s. After these student players graduated, Wei-Chuan formed an amateur team to allow them to continue playing baseball in 1978; it was this team that later professionalized to become one of the first four teams of the Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL). Due to the club's long history in the amateur era, its matches often attracted large crowds, and games with the Brother Elephants, another popular team, were often sold out. The team played at the now-demolished Taipei Municipal Baseball Stadium.

During the 1990s, the club won the CPBL championship four times, in 1990, 1997, 1998 and 1999, and by the end of the 1999 season became the team with the most CPBL championship titles. In 1999, Wei Chuan Food Corporation announced its decision to disband the club, mainly because the Ting Hsin International Group, who became the largest shareholder of Wei Chuan Food Corporation in 1998, did not show interest in supporting the baseball club.

In 2019, 20 years after the disbandment, the club was re-established and played the 2020 season in the minor league, before rejoining the CPBL in 2021. In 2023, the Dragons defeated Rakuten Monkeys in the 2023 Taiwan Series with four wins in seven games to win their fifth championship, 24 years since their last championship.

The Wei-Chuan Dragons are a professional baseball team based in Tainan, Taiwan. The team was founded in 1997 and has since become one of the most successful teams in the Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL). The Dragons play their home games at the Tainan Municipal Baseball Stadium, which has a seating capacity of 15,000.

The team's colors are blue and white, and their logo features a dragon, which is a symbol of power and strength in Chinese culture. The Dragons have a strong fan base and are known for their passionate supporters who attend games in large numbers.

The Dragons have won two CPBL championships, in 2004 and 2017, and have also been runners-up on four occasions. The team has produced several talented players who have gone on to play in Major League Baseball (MLB), including Chien-Ming Wang, Hong-Chih Kuo, and Wei-Yin Chen.

The Dragons are known for their aggressive style of play, with a focus on speed and defense. They have a strong pitching staff and a lineup that features a mix of power hitters and players who excel at getting on base. The team's manager is Hong I-chung, who has been with the team since 2016.

Overall, the Wei-Chuan Dragons are a respected and successful team in the CPBL, with a loyal fan base and a strong tradition of excellence on the field.
