"We are so grateful for their families and the millions of others who have provided us with such great support at each and every game. Moments like this one tonight energize and excite us to entertain the next million fans."
Monday's attendance of 4,645 pushed the Fisher Cats season total to 244,148, breaking the four million barrier in the process. After being recognized as the four millionth fans, the two families threw out a ceremonial first pitch and enjoyed the game in a Fisher Cats luxury suite.

Three years prior, 10-year-old Brendan Howard of Fremont, N.H. was recognized as the two millionth fan in franchise history. The one-million mark was reached during the 2007 season.
