About Denard Span

Keiunta Denard Span is an American former professional baseball center fielder. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Minnesota Twins, Washington Nationals, San Francisco Giants, Tampa Bay Rays and Seattle Mariners. Span won a state baseball championship with Tampa Catholic as a junior in 2001. Span was selected by the Minnesota Twins in the first round (20th overall) of the 2002 Major League Baseball draft from Tampa Catholic. In 2004, Span was promoted first to the Gulf Coast League Twins in Fort Myers, Florida and, after only appearing in five games, for the Quad Cities River Bandits of the Low-A Midwest League. Span earned the odd distinction of becoming the player to hit both the first regular and post season hits at Yankee Stadium in 2009.
