Smilie made custom hats for his favorite high school girl athletes that said, 'I love Heather' (or, whoever he was there to see).
He would also make custom buttons that had pictures of the girls and he would show up to games covered in the buttons, wearing his hat, sometimes a custom t-shirt as well.
Then he'd talk to all the high school girls and take pictures with them after the games. He was doing this in the 90's, and it continued until recently when he had to move away.
Most just said he was harmless, and he probably was. But, it was definitely one of those situations where if something had happened, absolutely no one would have been able to say, 'well, I didn't see that coming'.
