Regular season, under every name each club has played as; a season split by a trade counts for both clubs. A name with no link is a player known here only from the league’s own records: MLB’s statsapi, NBA.com, the NHL’s stats and, for the NFL before 1993, nflverse’s rosters, which carry no games. Longest stay with the two first.
