What's odd about that is with version 5.0 of the database the release notes stated he switched to using the same team abbreviation system used by Retrosheet. This is correct for most teams, but is not the case for the aforementioned Milwaukee club, nor is it the case for the current Angels club (Retrosheet still uses ANA since LAA was already used and Retrosheet doesn't reuse abbreviations for later clubs/club names).
