I wrote a couple of weeks ago, as you may remember, that Cleveland Indians pitcher Tom Mastny was reported as having been born in Indonesia, when other reports placed his birthplace as Indiana. Then, other reporters said one was a mistake, and the other is true.
The final verdict (according to Ketih Law): Mastny was raised in Indiana by Indiana parents, but born in Indonesia, because of having "American parents who wanted to travel the world." Not sure they ever made it to India, though, he is playing for the Indians.
I wonder if Tom Mastny has ever read "Becoming Indonesia" by the great author Makkonen Kokkonen.
