BALTIMORE — Fulfilling a child's request to "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" is going to be a cheaper at Camden Yards this season.
The Baltimore Orioles have launched a program that will enable kids to attend home games free of charge. Every adult who purchases a regularly-priced upper deck ticket can bring up to two children, age 9 or under.
It is believed to be the first such initiative offered by a major league team.
"That's pretty cool," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said Monday. "Nobody else is doing that."
The "Kids Cheer Free" program begins for the March 31 game against Minnesota.
