[edit] Career
Beasley began his professional career in 1998, as a member Major League Soccer's Project-40, directly out of High School (South Side High School), the first MLS player ever to do so. He became a member of the New England Revolution. At the time, Beasley was the youngest player to sign with MLS, a record since broken many times over. In 2003, he played one game with the Carolina Dynamo. On May 26, 2010, Beasley signed with the Kansas City Wizards of Major League Soccer[1]
Beasley was signed on November 11, 2010 (just one day before the 2010-2011 season) by the Missouri Comets of the MISL. Beasley was an offensive force all season-long for the team. He finished 3rd in the league in scoring with 54 points and tied for 3rd in total goals with 20. Beasley also had the second most game-winning goals on the year with three. Following the season he was named 2nd team All-MISL.
