The Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox experienced a two-month delay in a game that resulted in an unusual moment in baseball history. Catcher Danny Jansen became the first player to compete for both teams in one game. Jansen was playing for the Blue Jays when the game was initially rained out, but was traded to the Red Sox just a month later. When the game resumed two months later, Jansen played against his former team, resulting in a 7-3 loss for the Red Sox. The MLB confirmed that no other player has achieved this feat before. The Blue Jays shared side-by-side photos of Jansen in both teams’ gear, joking about the unique situation. Jansen expressed surprise at being the first player to make history in this way and was grateful for the opportunity. He mentioned that he will be donating one of the jerseys he wore in the game to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. This event marked a strange and interesting moment in baseball history, leaving an unusual yet memorable stamp on Jansen’s career.
