Chiang Tai-Chuan

Chiang Tai-chuan (; born 26 October 1960 in Chiayi County, Taiwan) is a Taiwanese retired professional baseball player and baseball coach. He is best known for being the first baseball player to compete in three consecutive Olympic Games: in the 1984, 1988 and 1992 Olympics where he won a bronze medal in 1984 (as a demonstration sport) and a silver medal in 1992.

A member of the China Times Eagles' amateur forerunner, the Black Eagles, since 1990, after the 1992 Summer Olympics Chiang planned to join CPBL along with this soon-to-be-professionalized club. However, in November 1992, the Eagles accidentally traded him to the Uni-President Lions due to their unfamiliarity with CPBL's trading rules. Chiang stayed with the Lions until the end of the 1996 season. Before CPBL's 1997 season started, he planned to transfer to then just-established Koos Groups Whales, but also at this time CPBL expelled him after it was determined that he was involved in the Black Eagles Incident. Chiang was forced to retire after this scandal and he later found a coaching job in the China Baseball League.
