Giants’ Denard Span: center fielder, actor, romantic
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - Denard Span, Mr. Romance.
The Giants' 32-year-old center fielder got married for the first time in January, four weeks after proposing to Anne Schleper, a hockey player who won a silver medal with the United States in the 2014 Olympics.
Span's New Year's Eve proposal was something out of a romcom.
The couple was vacationing at a five-star hotel in Miami Beach and left for a nice dinner. As they ate, Span's cellphone rang with a prearranged call from his business manager.
When Span hung up he acted indignant, saying it was the hotel and their room had flooded. Everything was soaked and they would have to move.
