The Celebrity Beat…
Danny Jansen made Major League Baseball history yesterday, by becoming the first player in history to play for both teams in a SINGLE GAME.
Back on June 26th, Danny was the catcher for the Toronto Blue Jays against the Boston Red Sox. But the game was suspended due to weather in the top of the second inning, while Danny was in the middle of an at-bat.
The game finally resumed last night, but by then, Danny had been traded to Boston, so he was behind the plate for the Red Sox when the game re-started.
Ironically, he was technically catching for HIS OWN AT-BAT. But the Jays put in center fielder Daulton Varsho to pinch hit for Jansen. He struck out, but the Jays won the game 4 to 1.
The scorecard and other items related to this first-time event are headed to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.
