Danny Jansen vs. Danny Jansen

This is interesting. Red Sox catcher Danny Jansen is set to make history on Monday against the Blue Jays.

Danny Jansen, you may recall, was at bat for the Blue Jays when the June 26 game against Boston was suspended in the second inning because of rain. The game was scheduled to resume August 26. Then, the Blue Jays traded Danny Jansen to Boston on July 27. Now he'll become the first major leaguer to appear in a game for both teams.

But it's actually better than that. Jansen will be catching his own pinch hit at bat. Chew on that for a moment. Someone will need to pinch hit for Jansen, and simultaneously he'll need to enter the game as the new Red Sox catcher.

Save this box score for posterity.
