A first for Major League Baseball

(AP) – No matter how the next Toronto Blue Jays vs. Boston Red Sox game plays out, Danny Jansen will be a first in Major League Baseball history.
Today, the Red Sox catcher will finish a game that he started as a player on the opposing team. In doing so, Jansen is the first person to play for both teams in the same game.
The peculiar switch was set in motion when a game on June 26 was suspended during the second inning because of heavy rain at Boston’s Fenway Park. At the time, Jansen played for Toronto. A month later, Jansen was traded to the Red Sox..
Before the game was halted, Jansen was at bat for the Blue Jays. Two months later, play will resume — this time, with Jansen behind the plate and in a Red Sox jersey. The Jays will have a pinch hitter in Jansen’s place.
Red Sox manager Alex Cora reportedly confirmed on Friday that Jansen would be part of the starting lineup.
