If you’re trying to find a real player

You might be mixing up names. Some possibilities:

  • John Wall – a real NBA player, but he was born in 1990 and did not exist as a player in 1986.
  • Backman – there is no notable MLB or NBA player with that surname in the 1980s All-Star records.
  • It could be a character from a movie, book, video game, or a local/semi-pro player not covered by major databases.

If you can share:

  • Which sport (NBA or MLB)?
  • Where you heard the name (a show, article, family story)?
