Twins announced that Denard Span is joining the group of TV analysts for Bally Sports North, along with Justin Morneau, Roy Smalley, LaTroy Hawkins, Glen Perkins, and Trevor Plouffe.
They'll work with new TV play-by-play voice Cory Provus.
Just leaving my 1st Twinsfest since 2012. I don’t speak on the concussions that I’ve had in the past much. Truth is that my memory is a lil shabby with certain details. Just want to say thank you to all of the fans for reminding me of just how loyal and supportive you all are!
To my former teammate, Z, it was a pleasure being on the same side as you for 3 years. You had a way of elevating everyone’s game with your leadership and play. The
@Nationals
won’t be the same without you. Retirement ain’t so bad 🤙🏾
Im thankful I got the opportunity to spend a small amount of time with this man during my 2 years playing for the Giants. He made me and everyone that came into his presence feel special. We all are going to miss you Willie!
No matter how many times I watch this highlight, it gets me every time. My reaction coming into third base was a combo of all the hard work, perseverance of 6 yrs in the minors, and all the people sleeping on the kid.
Happy birthday to

Span tied the modern (since 1900) MLB record (and Ken Landreaux's team record) with three triples on June 29, 2010. He went 4-for-4 with a walk, five RBI, and two runs scored in an 11-4 win over Detroit.
Yesterday I was humbled in front of my 2 young kids that are 5 and 3. I’m constantly on them about making contact. We went to a minor league game where they let kids and parents take bp on the field. Long story short I took 8 swings and crushed nothing but mosquitoes 🤦🏾♂️😂
Had a fun week hanging with

More TC Greats: Denard Span
In 1359 games over 11 seasons, Span posted a .281 batting average (1498-for-5326) with 773 runs, 265 doubles, 72 triples, 71 home runs, 490 RBIs, 185 stolen bases, 515 bases on balls, .347 on-base percentage and .398 slugging percentage.
Just witnessed Miles Mastrobuoni told he was going to the big leagues for the first time in his career! No better feeling than getting that call after years of blood, sweat and tears!
We fully believe that we’ve been blessed to bless others. Last night was one of the most memorable nights with my family as our foundation gathered to bless a single mom with one of her biggest needs, transportation. Can’t wait to see what God does in 2019!
