And, as a further bit of trivia, note that each of the four teams he played for was in a different division, and there were only four divisions at the time:
Mets: NL East
Padres: NL West
Angels: AL West
Yankees: AL East
I'd imagine he's probalby the only player ever to play in all four divisions in the same season.
Kingman was unique in a LOT of ways!
