What do AmCham-China’s Chair James Zimmerman and China’s top action star Jet Li have in common?

It might not be instantly apparent, but the two share a love of baseball. Chair Zimmerman poses here with Jet Li, the star of such Chinese movie classics as “The Shaolin Temple”, “Hero” and the soon-to-be released movie “The Forbidden Kingdom,” which also features Jackie Chan. They met at last week’s reception for Major League Baseball.  Jet Li threw out the first baseball at Sunday’s game between the LA Dodgers and the San Diego Padres.

From most reports, the games went well after sports fans finally got into the stadium; the security was quite tight and many people  had to wait in long lines to get into Wukesong stadium. And then there was the issue of running out of refreshments.
Any other incidents?
