Off the top of my head, I was going to say the Drew Carey Show; Cleveland Indians. However, I then looked up the lyrics and it doesn't explicitly mention the Indians. Yet, I know Drew Carey is an Indian fan. It might not be the answer you are looking for.

OK, but which baseball team is being referenced, the Braves, who were there in the early '60's, when the show was set, or the Brewers, who were there in the '70's, when the show was made/originally broadcast?

heh.. Good point.. I'd say 5 extra points if you thought it through that much to come up with the Braves.
As for the bonus question.. If the rules hold true.. No team used twice.. I don't know the answer, but I'd bet on the Giants. So now I'm thinking of any show set in SF..

A good guess but as you wrote no team is mentioned in the lyrics.Actually its a little underhanded question, the answer is the 70's show all in the family but no team is mentioned in the lyrics that play on tv you would have to know the full lyrics.
"Take a little Sunday spin,
Go to watch the Dodgers win.
Have yourself a dandy day
That cost you under a fin."
and now for an extra extra credit question, this famous soccer star, Cristiano Ronaldo is sometimes seen wear this mlb team cap although I doubt he even knows its a baseball team.the hint is in his name.
