Brown: You've seen rats in the Metrodome? Span: There are small ones running through our locker room. It's not fun. What would I really take? I don't know; I've only really been there a year and a half. Brown: I've heard White Sox fans describe you as a real pain in the butt. Span: Yeah? Wow. Thank you. Brown: You take comments like that well. Span: I appreciate that. That means a lot to me, to know that they think so lowly of me [laughs].
September 26, 200916 yr Very cool interview from a down to earth guy. Love this one. Brown: You didn't grow up a Rays fan in Tampa. Has anyone? Span: Anyone who says they grew up a Rays fan in Tampa, they're a liar, I don't care. I went home this off-season and saw a lot of Rays tags and t-shirts and caps. It's a bunch of baloney, a bunch of bull. Nobody in Tampa grew up a Rays fan. They just started winning — and I'm happy for them, I am happy for the organization — but if you bump into anybody who says they grew up a Rays fan, don't believe it.
