Danny Jansen has a chance to make MLB history on Aug. 26

This hasn't been done in Major League Baseball in 121 years.

June 26:
Danny Jansen starts at catcher for the Blue Jays vs the Red Sox (Game suspended in 2nd inning due to rain)

August 26:
Game will resume with the potential for Jansen playing for Boston

He could be the first player in MLB history to appear in a game for both teams.

So, I looked it up.
Happened once. 102 years ago!
Amazing that we even heard about it.
