Billy Crystal wears a Mets cap in City Slickers.
Ah, yes, the old 1987 faux wood bordered Topps cards! That brings me back. I’m almost certain I had that very card.
If they played since the web came into existence, even minor league-only players’ stats are fully there. Earlier might be problematic the further back you go.
A couple years ago DesertRoomie and I were attending an Arizona Fall League game – minor leaguers who are on the cusp of moving up to the Bigs. The games have only about 500 in attendence in the spring training stadiums that can hold 10,000 so early in the game when somebody whacked a home run over the left field fence it rolled to a stop on the embankment and nobody bothered to go after it.
DR had always wanted a baseball so I said, “Here’s your chance.” She got up and trotted from our place behind home plate, around and onto the embankment just ahead of a guy who’d approached from the opposite side. A couple innings later she asked, “Who hit it? I’m going to get it autographed.” I was keeping score so I told her.
After the game while I was packing up, she went down to the dugout, talked to a couple people, and came back with autographed batting gloves instead, saying, “He was really wanting that ball so we traded.” Looking him up when we got home I found out, sure enough, it was his first AFL home run and he’d had only a couple in five minor league seasons.
She was intrigued I found the stats so easily* and asked me to look up an A’s player from the eighties – she’d dated his brother for a while. Turned out he’d had a nine year career in the major leagues and was currently running a girls’ softball school in Oakland.
*I laughed and said, “Are you kiddin’ me? Baseball is all about stats. I can find the careers of players back to at least 1876 then the NL was founded.”
Good your guy wasn’t a BSer.
I met a woman one time, said she did movie stunt work. Even told me the movies she did work in. So I checked IMDB. No listings, “I used a different name.” For stunt work? All lies.
Is there any baseball team whose name is written in all caps? Or any sports team at all?
In logos, sure. As a proper noun in a sentence, I don’t think so.
The funny thing about the logo, though, is that the Mets logo isn’t all caps. Maybe OP was confusing them with the New York Jets, whose name in their logo is all caps?
I remember Dave Magadan well. Even have a statuette of him:
I think almost all of the NFL teams have the team name in all caps in the logo, except for the Steelers.
Before there was an IMDB or even the WWW, I sat next to an attractive woman on a flight who said she was a private detective who did basically honey trap work to expose malingerers. Told me all kinds of exciting stories. I was 100% sure she was bullshitting me.
I pulled out the yellow pages when I got back home and sure enough, she was listed under private detectives.
Apparently he was fibbing – that site says he played for 16 years, not 10…
Sixteen years in total, but only 7 seasons with the Mets. A fib either way. 
Bounced around a bit, didn’t he? What’s that “TOT MLB” for 1993?
That line is his total stats for 1993, as he played for two teams that year – the Florida Marlins and the Seattle Mariners. His stats with each of those two teams are broken out on the two lines below that one.
He must be doing that as an off season/covid gig. He’s currently the batting coach of the Colorado Rockies. He’s been a coach ever since he retired from baseball. He was the batting coach of the Red Sox when they won the World Series in 2007. I’m not sure if it was enough to get a ring but he first came up with the Mets when the roster expanded at the end of the 86 season. I remember him well. There were hopes that he was going to be the next big star. That was helped by the fact that he is the cousin and godson of Lou Pinella who is a New York favorite. He never became a super star but he was a good solid player.
When a player moves to another league during the season, his stats for the season start over again. So the TOT is not an official stat, but are computed for convenience. If traded within the same league, stats will continue to accrue.
Oakland A’s. 
PSV Eindhoven
Right. The stats count towards his career totals, but only games played for each league count toward season totals.
Nuh uh – look at the s.
Of course lots of teams in all US pro sports are also known by a 3-letter designator of where they play and/or the team name. So NYM, LAD, COL, etc.
Which of course makes it more likely somebody who doesn’t follow one particular sport will default to all-capping a name inappropriately. And doubly so for a name that’s not obviously an apt word for a team name.
