A 'never seen before' moment was captured during a Major League Baseball (MLB) match between Blue Jays and Red Sox.

During the match, Danny Jansen created a new record as he played for both the teams in the same match.

It all started when Jansen was batting for the Toronto Blue Jays on 26 June against Boston Red Sox. However, the game was cancelled 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.

After missing out on a few games, Jansen was named in the Red Sox line-up for the match against the Blue Jays.

Thus, he became the first player in the history of the sport to register this bizarre feat.
