Strange week in Cleveland: Rookie closer Fausto Carmona blew the first three save opportunities of his career, all on walkoff hits. Victor Martinez stepped to the plate in first inning Saturday, tapped his bat on the plate... and watched it break. And it was discovered that the media guide lists Indiana-born reliever Tom Mastny as being from Indonesia.
As of Saturday night, the Indians website still had Mastny as being a native of Indonesia.
UPDATEThe Indians PR staff confirmed today with Mastny's parents that he was indeed born in Indonesia. In East Bontang, Indonesia, to be precise. It's on the island of Borneo.
But he just grew up there.
Why his parents decided to give birth to a child in Indonesia is a mystery.
