Baltimore will give fans free birthday tickets
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/baseball/mlb/03/03/orioles.tickets.ap/index.html

BALTIMORE (AP) -- The Orioles are giving away birthday presents to fans -- free tickets.

The team announced Tuesday that any fan can get a free ticket to a game during the month of his or her birthday -- except for games against the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox.

Free seats are in the upper part of the third deck, which cost $8 to $15.

A fan can register at www.orioles.com/birthdays and receive a voucher for a free birthday ticket. People with birthdays from January through March can get a ticket to an April game, and those born between October and December can go to a September game.

Guess I'll have to go to a game this summer!

25. I'm sorry - are you implying Baltimore has a reasonable street grid?
I'm sorry - I'm probably just hallucinating

6. Interleague play did not seem to be excluded
so June babies could presumably go see the O's I-95 Cup series with "America's Team", the Washington Nationals.

Odd. I thought that was becoming pretty popular.

14. I never got that....
Seeing that each city has its own respective Beltway.

Baltimore's, may I add, is infinitely friendlier and more managable than Traffic Circle Hell's is.
