MLB Star Danny Jansen Plays For Both Teams In Same Match, Scripts Never-Seen-Before Record

USA's Major League Baseball catcher, Danny Jansen, registered a never-seen-before feat in the sporting world, as he went on to play for two teams in the same match. It all started when Jansen was batting for the Toronto Blue Jays on 26 June against Boston Red Sox, but the game was soon suspended due to rain. A month later, on July 27, Jansen was traded to the Red Sox, putting him in line to play against his own team in the rain-suspended match.
