What to expect in today’s games? The first one on this twin bill was the resumption of the suspended game from June 26, which was called in the second inning due to weather. We knew in advance it would make history by featuring one player—our own Danny Jansen—playing for both teams during the “same” game. He started at catcher for the Blue Jays and was at bat when the game was called. At the trade deadline, he was traded to the Red Sox and was named as our starting catcher today. Normally, this is against the rules; even if a player is traded mid-game he can’t be removed and reinserted into another team’s lineup, even if time allowed him to race over to his new team’s dugout.
Red Sox 1, Blue Jays 4: Let the fun resume, and history get made!
