His biography in the press kit for
The Blair Witch Project (1999) mentioned that he played for
the New York Yankees farm team. It was actually the biography that
Michael wrote for the character of "Mike" in the film. The character's
biography was accidentally used by the producers, leading people to
believe that Michael, the actor, played baseball in the N.Y. Yankees
farm system. By the time Michael found out about the mistake, it had
already been printed in the New York Times.
