Between the beginning of August and mid-September, more than one million free tickets will be given out to kids at ballparks across the country. Fifteen thousand free tickets have been made available for Sunday.
In support of that, players and personnel will be wearing gold wristbands, gold ribbons on their uniforms, and a gold logo will be placed on the bases.
