What seemed only possible in theory was realized in reality.

One of the most fascinating and memorable scenes in the history of the Major League Baseball happened to a certain player. The main character is Danny Jansen, a catcher of the Boston Red Sox.

He changed his uniform from the Toronto Blue Jays to Boston through a trade on July 28 (Korea time).

However, the game between Boston and Toronto at Fenway Park on June 27 was suspended due to rain during Toronto's attack in the top of the second inning. Jansen was the batter who was standing at the batter's box. Jansen, who took the first batter's box with one out and runners on the first base in the second inning, fouled Boston's right-handed cutter Crawford's first pitch, and the game was suspended as raindrops became thick, and a game of rain suspended was declared as a result of tarpaulin.

Jansen was later traded to Boston, and the game continued at the same venue on the 27th. In other words, Jansen became the first player in Major League Baseball history to be listed in both teams' lineup at the same time.

Boston manager Alex Cora said last week, "I will send Jansen to the suspended game. Let's make history."

"It's a great moment. I'm in that game, too. I don't know if it will happen again. I'm just happy because everyone is enjoying it," Cora said ahead of the match.

The game resumed at 2:06 p.m. local time on Monday. It has been 18 hours and 35 minutes since the game was suspended on June 27. Toronto sent out Dalton Basho as a substitute for Jansen, who was a batter when the game was suspended, and Boston used Jansen as its catcher instead of Liz Maguire. After taking the mound after Crawford every two months, Boston pitcher Nick Pivetta struck out Basho with two fouls and three swingers, completing the showdown. It was a strange scene as Jansen received the wrong ball.

As a result, Jansen did not bat in the June 27 game, going 1 for 4 with one strikeout on the day. The game ended in a 4-1 victory for Toronto.

Jansen said after the game, "I still can't believe it. I was surprised to hear that this was the first time I played for both teams in a single game. It's strange but interesting to have such a record in the Major League. I'm so grateful to have such an opportunity. It's wonderful," he said. "Many people have sent me messages saying that I am the hero of history. I never imagined that I would be the hero of such a situation that is unprecedented in history. However, I have guessed that this would have happened somewhere before."

Asked if he would take the records home and keep them, Jansen said, "I need to look at the records. I've never been the main character of such a crazy record, but I think it would be great to see them."

Jansen is the first player who played in both teams' uniforms in a single game, but at least once in a minor league, according to MLBcom . The game between the Triple-A Syracuse Chiefs (then under the Toronto Blue Jays) and the Richmond Braves (under the Atlanta Braves) was postponed to a suspended game after the rain stopped in June 1986 and resumed on Aug. 17. Dale Holman, then a member of Syracuse, was released by Toronto and moved to Atlanta, where he played in a suspended game after being promoted to Triple-A after being in Double-A. He recorded 1 for 1 at Syracuse and 2 for 2 at Richmond. He made 3 for 3 in total in the game.
