Rhashan's is a special story. During the 2003 season Rhashan, who was living just behind the outfield on Memorial Avenue, started walking over to the ballpark in the mornings. He quickly made friends and started doing odd jobs during the day in order to earn a ticket for that night's game.

Fast forward all these years, and Rhashan has never missed a day at the ballpark! As Director of Smiles, Rhashan is charged with making sure all fans enjoy their time here at Muncy Bank Ballpark. He greets fans as they enter the gates, helps with on-field promotions, and is a big help in the office year round.
