Normally, Denard Span plays left field for the Rays. He catches fly balls, fields ground balls or just hangs out thinking about what show he'll stream on Netflix after the game.

MLB.com's Bill Chastain talked to Span about his fan visits after the game:
"Trying to get some nachos," Span said, a statement that would make Prince Fielder proud.
Manager Kevin Cash was more just happy about the well-placed Raymond.
"It was good we had Raymond out there the second time to help him up."
