Danny Jansen makes MLB history by playing for Red Sox and Blue Jays in same game

Boston Red Sox catcher Danny Jansen made baseball history Monday by becoming the first major leaguer to play for both teams in the same game.

The unusual feat became possible after the June 26 game between the Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays was suspended by rain. Jansen played for Toronto at the time but was then traded to Boston on July 27.

With this at-bat, Danny Jansen officially becomes the first player in MLB history to play for two different teams in the same game.
