Yankee and Mets Baseball games are free if in uniform. (Go to the press entrance.) This may also be true for other Major League teams, but I'm not sure.

Does that apply to youth only for Yankee and Mets (I hate both teams) baseball games?

Because I just can't seem to picture a forty year old adult male walking up to the stadium in a complete uniform.

Jesery, Pants, Cleats, Long Socks, Hat, Cather's mitt, Batting gloves, and baseball bat.

I've seen little kids (5-6 years old) do this. And they do get in free at Dolphin Stadium for a Marlins' Game. But never a full grown adult.

I've always wanted to take advantage of this, but never got around to it...maybe this summer.

I didnt see this one posted yet..

When you join the military you get a free membership to the YMCA. I'm just in the DEP right now, but I gave them a copy of my contract and I got my free membership on the spot.

I would assume it is like this at every YMCA..but its possible its just where I live, ya never know.

I'm pretty sure that means military uniform, not baseball.
