Elston “Geepa” Beanpot has been with the team since S19 D42, joining as a replacement for Carmelo Plums.
He was part of a dedicated group of Firefighters fans who would watch as many Firefighters games as they could manage. Beanpot worked as a strictly unofficial recordkeeper, maintaining a handwritten statistics record. There are those who will swear up and down that his numbers are the only ones they trust. He is an elderly ex-retiree, known for his love of blaseball and his tendency to tell anyone who will listen about “back in the day”. Some claim Carmelo Plums threw themself in front of him to protect him from a rogue umpire when he vocally disagreed with a call from his usual spot in the stands; some say longtime Fire House employee Douglas fetched him when Plums was incinerated, as they played in the same recreational senior league. Like all of us, he is from Chicago. His jersey number is 872. |
