What preposition is omitted?
"Born in New York, in 1997, James was very smart, even as a child." I know that a conjunction and a subject are omitted in the "Born in New York, in 1997," but I can not find what conjunction could be omitted in front of the sentence. Could you tell me your thoughts? Thank you so much in advance as usual.

Thank you, but is it okay to omit the conjunction in anther clause and the subject in the main clause at the same time?

By the way, the sentence is absurd. It seems to present his birthplace as at least a partial reason for his intelligence. New Yorkers have every right to be proud of their gene pool, I guess, but that's going too far. Make two sentences.
