Official League Records

Beans joined the ILB as a player in the Shadows for the Seattle Garages with the Return of Blaseball.

During the Season 9 elections, Beans joined the Garages' lineup in exchange for Mcdowell Karim as a result of the Out of Sight blessing.

On Season 10, Day 23, Beans's batting was siphoned by Canada Moist Talkers lineup player Beans McBlase to remove an out in a game with Blooddrain weather, bringing it from 3.0 → 2.5 .

On Season 14, Day 86, Beans was the first player in the ILB not on the San Francisco Lovers to use Charm, charming pitcher Sandford Garner and walking to first base.

COMMUNITY REPORTS
The remainder of this article contains lore created collaboratively by the Blaseball community.

Background

Sparks Beans is a Vietnamese part human, part elemental, Sacristan-Barista for the Order of the Holy Bean. They stand at 5'4, with electricity flowing from their head. According to teammates, Beans has shown the ability to shapeshift according to their mood, ranging from stout while elated, to brawny while downcast.

Pre ILB

Sparks Beans's father released custody of Beans to the Order of the Holy Bean (OHB) upon sampling the Untold Macchiato from the Dunklin Donuts forbidden menu. When questioned about the action Mr. Fava Beans had this to say:

"The baristas had given me so much more in that cup than possibly could have been covered by the $3.49 they insisted was the price. Only the donation of my child could the debt be repaid."

The Untold Macchiato has since been removed from the forbidden menu.

Sparks Beans was taken in by the OHB and raised to reach enlightenment through cultivating, harvesting, and roasting rare coffee beans. However, as a teenager Beans began experimenting by making pacts with unknowable forces to perfect their roast. One such entity could be spotted throughout the rest of their childhood working with them when the OHB was unable to focus on them. It is unclear if these pacts are what gave them their powers; all that is known is that, during a roasting of Thunder Plains Arabica, the elemental powers contained within Beans awakened, and the subsequent release of energy roasted the coffee to a perfect City roast. This caused their previously bald head to produce electricity flowing from it.

Once Beans had learned all that the monastery of the OHB could teach them about roasting, Beans and fellow harvesters left the Dunklin' on a pilgrimage to the farthest reaches of the earth, in search for new beans and brewing techniques. One notable trip included the Secret Andes, in search of the Robustos that once made the Mother of the Gods weep. █████ █████████, a junior level harvester, brought a copy of "The Incessant Spam Calls of Shavalyoth", and taught the party how to play during periods of rest. The third session of "The Incessant Spam Calls of Shavalyoth" was run while the party was camped out in a cave due to a sudden hail storm, during which the conversation turned to the many coffee houses of the Emerald City, and the endless laboratory where blends on incredible power are brewed. As a result of the conversation, Beans decided to visit Seattle.

In Seattle

The OHB provided Sparks Beans with accommodation and a position at a Dunklins inside the Big Garage upon their arrival to Seattle. It was here Beans honed the rest of their craft, while getting in touch with the world of blaseball. They took to watching games and taking notes on how the splort worked. During this time Beans befriended Garages pitcher Lori Boston and batter Nolanestophia Patterson. The three could be found playing tabletop rpgs with Malik Destiny hanging around nearby. Theodore Duende, Seattle Garages team captain, recruited Sparks Beans for the Garages after witnessing them chase off a set of "influencers", who had been loitering about the shop demanding free drinks, with their rune inscribed bat "The Magnet". Upon learning that they would be replacing Patterson, Beans had a paw print embroidered onto their team flannel in her honor.

Upon joining the ILB, Beans discovered that they are the long lost sibling of Fran Beans, a former patron of the Dunklin whose cybernetic arms Beans had once accidentally overcharged.

Beans is known for their energetic, mile-a-minute nature. They're known for being forgetful, often neglecting to activate The Magnet before going up to bat. They make up for this by setting a plethora of alarms on their phone, though this only works when Beans remembers where they left it. Team members cite Beans as "the type of person you go to if you need help identifying a local bird, anime recommendations, or where to find the best coffee in all of the ILB cities. Their obscure trivia is boundless."

Beans lives in the International District with Garages pitcher Goodwin Morin. As both grew up in isolated communities and are in touch with their magical abilities, the two find comfort in each others company, each helping the other one adjust to life in the city. The two can be found warming up for games with Morin pitching shadow balls to Beans and Beans zapping them out of the air.

Sparks Beans is a Tesla coil player, harnessing their electricity to make music. They are known to vacillate between instrument interests and as a result knows how to play a handful of them decently. They tend to favor EDM, but has been known to enjoy rock and indie.
