One Player, Two Teams

Danny Jansen was the first player in MLB history to play for both teams in the same game. After the April 26th, 2024 game between Toronto and Boston was suspended in the top of the second inning due to rain, they resumed play 4 months later on August 26th. Danny Jansen had been in a 0-1 count when the game was suspended, but having been traded to the Red Sox during the intervening months his at-bat had to be continued by Daulton Varsho in a pinch-hitting role with Jansen himself behind the plate. Danny Jansen would go to bat in the bottom of this same inning, went 1-4 on the day, and struck out to end the game.

Act I. AMERICAN BALL PARK. Milwaukee. Enter JACOB MISIOROWSKI. A towering protagonist armed with a thunderbolt for a right arm. The PHILLIES, a proud company of batsmen, step forth one by one, only to disappear into the darkness. Strike three. Exit. Strike three. Exit. Strike three. Exit. The audience begins to sense they are witnessing something extraordinary. Act II. Perfection beckons. Twenty-seven outs stand before him. Then, from the shadows emerges a villain. KYLE SCHWARBER. A single swing in the fourth inning. A single baseball finds grass. A single hit. The perfect game is slain. The crowd gasps. The dream dies. But the hero does not. Act III. Misiorowski answers with fury. Fastballs scream through the night. Whiffs pile up. Strikeouts become inevitable. The Phillies are reduced to spectators in their own tragedy. When the final curtain falls, the ledger reads: 9 IP 1 H 0 BB 0 ER 15 K 95 pitches A Maddux. The most strikeouts ever recorded in one. And though Schwarber denied perfection, he only changed the genre. This was never meant to be a tragedy. It was a fairy tale. Lés Mis.
