Here is a link to the rosters of the upcoming US against the World game: http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/prospects/futuresgame/rosters/261771.html# The only Met minor leaguer name I recognize on either team is Matt Lindstrom. Later

Hey! My adoptee. Cool. I guess they put him on the roster in case they need someone to take the mound in a big spot and walk a few guys.

I expect Lindstrom is there because the Mets held Pelfrey out.

Matt Lindstrom made me think of Pia Lindstrom, who made me think of Pia Zadora. Pia Linstrom, I think, was Ingrid Bergman's daughter (and Isabella Rossellini's half sister) who did local news in New York. I don't remember exactly who Pia Zadora was. I'm thinking she was an early version of Paris Hilton.

Ingrid Bergman makes me think of this delightful song (music/vocals: Billy Bragg/words: Woody Guthrie: ]Ingrid Bergman, Ingrid Bergman, Let's go make a picture On the island of Stromboli Ingrid Bergman Ingrid Bergman, you're so perty, You'd make any mountain quiver You'd make fire fly from the crater, Ingrid Bergman This old mountain it's been waiting All its life for you to work it For your hand to touch its hardrock, Ingrid Bergman, Ingrid Bergman If you'll walk across my camera, I will flash the world your story, I will pay you more than money Ingrid Bergman Not by pennies dimes nor quarters, But with happy sons and daughters, And they'll sing around Stromboli, Ingrid Bergman

Paris Hilton inherited her money, Pia Zadora married hers. She got him to finance a horrible film called Butterfly in which she starred and gained her initial fame. That's all I remember about her.

She sang and danced in Naked Gun 33 1/3.
