This is pretty cool.

The seven-year veteran will become the first MLB player to play for both teams in one game when the Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays finish a matchup that was suspended by rain on June 26. The game will resume Monday as the first half of a doubleheader.

Odd, I figured when you were traded you were gone.

I just read that over at CBS Sports and came on over.

Per the MLB rules: A player who was not with the Club when the game was suspended may be used as a substitute

It couldn't have happened during a non-suspended game as the rosters are frozen upon the opening pitch.

I predict he'll have three strikeouts in the first game and three base hits in the second game.

You always see something new in baseball.

Well he played for both teams and I heard today that both jerseys will be donated to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
