Danny Jansen Makes MLB History in Unusual Game

Boston Red Sox catcher Danny Jansen made MLB history on August 26 by becoming the first player to appear for two different teams in the same game. This unprecedented event stemmed from a suspended game on June 26, where Jansen was still with the Toronto Blue Jays when the match against the Red Sox was called off due to rain. Following a trade to the Red Sox on July 27, Jansen resumed the suspended game at Fenway Park, starting behind the plate for Boston against his former team. The at-bat he had with the Blue Jays was continued by Daulton Varsho, who pinch-hit for him, inheriting the 0-1 count. Jansen's unique achievement has been recognized by the National Baseball Hall of Fame, cementing his place in sports trivia. Despite the historic moment, Toronto won the game 4-1.
