I found some relevant info that would pertain to a Jays/Yanks or any
other AL club game.
Although the national flag is meant to be a unique symbol for a
country, it is possible that different countries do have similar or
equal flags. An example of this are the flags of Monaco and Indonesia,
which do only differ slightly in size. Another pair of highly similar
flags are the flags of the Netherlands and of Luxembourg, though these
two do in fact use slightly different shades of blue as a distinction.
Furthermore, it is also possible that a countrys current flag is
similar to flags that have been used by other countries earlier in
history.
1 Flag Protocol
There is a great deal of protocol involved in the proper display of
national flags. For example, national flags should never be flown
upside down (where this is possible) except as a distress signal.
There are many regulations concerning the display of national flags,
but the general rule is that the national flag should be flown in the
position of honour, and not in an inferior position to any other flag
(although some countries make an exception for royal standards). The
following regulations are typical.
When a national flag is displayed together with any other flags, it
must be hoisted first and lowered last.
When a national flag is displayed together with the national flags of
other countries, all the flags should be of approximately equal size
and must be flown at an equal height, although the national flag of
the host country should be flown in the position of honour (in the
centre of an odd number of flagstaffs or at the far right - left from
an observer's point of view - of an even number of flagstaffs).
When a national flag is displayed together with flags other than
national flags, it should be flown on a separate flagstaff, either
higher or in the position of honour.
When a national flag is displayed together with any other flags on the
same flagstaff, it must be at the top, though separate flagstaffs are
preferable.
When a national flag is displayed together with any other flag on
crossed staffs, the National Flag must be on the observer's left and
its staff must be in front of the staff of the other flag.
When a national flag is displayed together with another flag or flags
in procession, the National Flag must be on the marching right. If
there is a row of flags, it should be in the position of honour.

AND FROM www.gameops.com/net/links.php -- a site about American
sports tradition, protocol, and demographic/site info:
2. The flag of the United States of America, when it is displayed with
another flag against a wall from crossed staffs, should be on the
right, the flag's own right [that means the viewer's left
--Webmaster], and its staff should be in front of the staff of the
other flag.
3. The flag, when flown at half-staff, should be first hoisted to the
peak for an instant and then lowered to the half-staff position. The
flag should be again raised to the peak before it is lowered for the
day. By "half-staff" is meant lowering the flag to one-half the
distance between the top and bottom of the staff. Crepe streamers may
be affixed to spear heads or flagstaffs in a parade only by order of
the President of the United States.
4. When flags of States, cities, or localities, or pennants of
societies are flown on the same halyard with the flag of the United
States, the latter should always be at the peak. When the flags are
flown from adjacent staffs, the flag of the United States should be
hoisted first and lowered last. No such flag or pennant may be placed
above the flag of the United States or to the right of the flag of the
United States. When the flag is half-masted, both flags are
half-masted, with the US flag at the mid-point and the other flag
below.
This is how it's supposed to be done.
Hope that helps
