On Monday former New Hampshire Fisher Cat Danny Jansen became the first player in the 153-year history of Major League Baseball to play for both teams in the same game.
On June 26th Jansen came up to the plate for the Toronto Blue Jays in a game against the Boston Red Sox. He fouled off a pitch just before that game was delayed and eventually postponed due to rain.
That game resumed on Monday, but not before Jansen had been traded to the Red Sox on July 27th.
Dalton Varsho pinch hit for the Blue Jays in the place of Jansen once play resumed, with Jansen taking over as the catcher for the Red Sox.
Jansen was drafted by the Blue Jays in 2013 and played for New Hampshire in 2017.
