Even the Blue Jays had to laugh as Danny Jansen became the first MLB player to play for both teams in a game

Baseball has been around for so long that it's truly a rare sight when something happens for the first time ever. And on Monday, we got just that with the Blue Jays and Red Sox.

Danny Jansen earned himself a spot as the ultimate baseball trivia answer.

Back on June 26, Jansen was the catcher for the Blue Jays when Toronto took on the Red Sox at Fenway Park. But weather would force a suspension of that game in the second inning with a make-up date set for Aug. 26. Yet, before those two months could pass, Jansen was traded to the Red Sox, which set up some MLB history.

Jansen would be the first MLB player to play for both teams in a single game, and even Blue Jays outfielder Daulton Varsho had to laugh as he made his way to the plate to be a part of that history.

MLB rules allowed for Jansen to play in the resumed game, which made that historical moment possible. Varsho was actually pinch hitting for Jansen and had to start the game with an 0-1 count. It was all so unusual.

No matter what happens, Jansen will remember that game for a long time -- the weirdest of MLB history.
