Back in February it was bases loaded, 2 out and the bottom of the ninth. Then a rookie, Gene Staples, stepped up to the plate.
Staples, a newbie to the amusement business, proceed to smack a homerun on his first time at bat in the amusement majors. In reality, Staples crushed it out of the park and halfway across Lake Shafer with the VIP Opening of Indiana Beach.
As Staples trotted around the Boardwalk to touch all the bases on his way to home plate, the IB Nation and fans went wild over the rookie's incredible feat.
If Staples' first time at bat is any indication of his talent, this rookie has a stellar career ahead of him. Who knows, today could be the start of an all-star amusement player.
Staples' home park, Indiana Beach, was filled with many smiling faces proud to be a part of today's amazing start to the 2020 season.
As Staples engaged around the Boardwalk many fans were saying how much he was their favorite VIP.
Once again, I had the distinct honor of documenting this all-star in the making with his debut in the big leagues.
Feel free to share with your family and friends.
