 Span earned the odd distinction of becoming the player to hit both the first regular and post season hits at Yankee Stadium in 2009.On March 13, 2010, Span made public a five-year deal worth $16.5 million with the Minnesota Twins that included an option for the 2015 season worth $9 million with a $500,000 buyout.This contract effectively bought out all of Span's arbitration years but did not go beyond his available free agency.
