Allentown, Pennsylvania - The Lehigh Valley IronPigs welcomed their nine-millionth fan, Mike Henahan, through the gates at Coca-Cola Park this past weekend on Saturday, April 27.

Mike Henahan, attending with his family - wife Jackie and children Riley and Julia - walked through the East Gate at Coca-Cola Park prior to the game Saturday night before a raucous celebration ensued. Mike Henahan was given a celebratory IronPigs Gold Standard jersey that said '9 Million' on the back and the Henahan family was upgraded to the 'Best Seats in the House' adjacent to the IronPigs dugout. The Henahan's were awarded with additional IronPigs gifts as well.
