¶ A formal business card, complete with the prominent designation: “Owner.”

¶ And if you are a wealthy doctor, commodities trader or real estate mogul who wants to try to swat the ball over the newly pulled-in outfield fences at Citi Field on a Mets day off, you are entitled to attend what appears to be an exclusive kind of fantasy camp: “Owners’ workout day.”

These benefits of ownership are laid out in a term sheet given by the Mets’ owners to prospective partners. The document, drawn up by the club’s investment banker and obtained by The New York Times, runs to three pages, and includes a mix of complex financial arrangements and, well, simpler stuff.

Parking will not be a problem for new owners, the document makes clear. A single spot at the ballpark is reserved for anyone who signs on for $20 million. The chance to throw out a game’s first pitch will be an annual privilege. Every minority owner will be assigned a team executive, who will be charged with tending to an array of possible needs, season tickets for family members among them. The document suggests, however, that those tickets will cost money beyond the $20 million investment.

The sale of minority stakes in sports franchises is fairly common and can serve a variety of purposes — a sense of inclusiveness for community and ethnic groups, estate planning for an aging majority owner, and a degree of civic commitment or political influence. And, in many cases, to raise necessary cash.

That is, it seems, the express goal for the owners of the Mets, Fred Wilpon and Saul Katz. The club lost $70 million in 2011; the men are facing trial over tens of million of dollars being sought by the trustee for Bernard L. Madoff’s victims; and they just lost their best player, Jose Reyes, when they were unable to match an offer from the Miami Marlins. They just obtained a $40 million bank loan to tide them over for the next several months.
