In an unusual turn of events, catcher Danny Jansen made history by becoming the first player in Major League Baseball to compete for two teams in one game. The Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox faced a two-month delay due to weather, during which Jansen was traded from the Blue Jays to the Red Sox. When the game resumed, Jansen found himself playing against his former team, ultimately losing 7-3. The Blue Jays shared side-by-side photos of Jansen in both teams’ gear, while the MLB also made light-hearted jokes about the situation. Jansen expressed surprise and gratitude at the unique accomplishment, stating that it was a cool experience and something he never would have imagined. He wore both jerseys during the game in order to donate one to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. Despite the loss, Jansen’s historic moment in baseball will likely be remembered for years to come.
