In an unusual moment in baseball history, catcher Danny Jansen became the first player to compete for two different teams in the same game. Originally playing for the Toronto Blue Jays, Jansen was traded to the Boston Red Sox before a rain-delayed game resumed. When the game picked back up, Jansen found himself playing against his former team, resulting in a 7-3 loss for the Red Sox. The MLB recognized this unique achievement, with both teams sharing photos and jokes on social media. Jansen expressed surprise and gratitude for the opportunity to make history in the sport. He plans to donate one of the jerseys he wore during the game to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. This unexpected turn of events left Jansen feeling grateful for the experience and the chance to leave his mark on baseball history in such a unique way.
