In case you are not flying United this month check out this feature story I shot in Wuxi, China for Hemispheres, the United Airlines magazine. The story is about the training camp that the MLB sponsors in China to find and develop a Chinese baseball star who hopefully will one day play in Major League Baseball in the US.
