On September 18, a ceremony was held to mark baseball player Chen Chin-feng's retirement after his final home game in Taoyuan. In Chen's retirement speech, he said that he was grateful for having so many people to accompany him in his baseball career. Baseball fans were moved to tears as they watched Taiwanese slugger Chen Chin-feng playing in his final home game for the Lamigo Monkeys. On September 18, Chen retired from his professional career with 20,052 fans attending the game. ==MR. LIEN, baseball fan== When I learned that he is about to retire, I felt like crying. I can't believe that the day has arrived. No matter how much baseball fans may want to watch Chen playing baseball again, they were faced with Chen's retirement ceremony on the field. A spotlight fell on Chen, who stood in the middle of the baseball field. A video was played in homage to Chen with renowned baseball players such as Matsuzaka Daisuke, Uehara Koji and Park Chan-Ho's expressing their best wishes for Chen. Taiwanese baseball player Wang Chien-Ming and Kuo Hong-Chih praised Chen in the video as well. Chen's family, who rarely make public appearances, came to the field to celebrate the special occasion. ==CHEN CHIN-FENG, Lamigo outfielder== A lot of people have asked me what I would say to the baseball fans. Now I want to tell you, you are like my family. I love you all! Don't cry, I knew that you have loved me so much, I'm sending it right back at you! Chen owed his success to his parents. He said that he will always remember being the one hitting in the prestigious fourth place for the Chinese Taipei baseball team. As Chen bid farewell to the baseball fans, his uniform number, 52, retired. ==LIU PAO-YU, Lamigo chairman== I hereby announced that Lamigo uniform, number 52, will always belong to Chen Chin-feng. Lights were turned on again after the ceremony ended. Many fans were reluctant to leave the scene. Fans at the field and at home both shed tears for Chen's retirement. Even though Chen has retired, the memories that he brought to his fans will never fade away.
