According to Nicolas Parco of the New York Daily News, the Boston Red Sox’s Triple-A affiliate, Pawtucket Red Sox, have enacted a new stadium rule as part of the “Evil Empire Weekend” promotion.
Fans named “Joe” or “Kelly” will be allowed free admission to the game while fans named “Tyler” or “Austin” will be banned from the stadium.
