In spite of my endless enthusiasm for it, baseball has been mostly distant from my mind over the past few months. Despite that, my favorite team is stepping up and making me proud.

As one of my favorite mid 2000s Twins players, this news was more noteworthy than just a quick news flash amid MLB money negotiations Span was taken 20th overall in the 2002 draft.
