Due to safety precautions, seating will be limited. In past years, seating was first come, first served, but this year fans will be required to have a ticket. The tickets are free, but very limited, and will become available on July 12th at 11am ET. Here s the link to try and get those free tickets.

TORONTO – Major League Baseball is placing Roberto Alomar on its ineligible list after reviewing an allegation of sexual misconduct against the Hall of Fame second baseman.
Alomar’s contract as a consultant to MLB in Puerto Rico was terminated, as anyone on the ineligible list is banned from working in the league office or for any team in the majors or affiliated minors. He also served on commissioner Rob Manfred’s competition committee and worked for the Toronto Blue Jays as a special assistant, but that position was restructured as part of wider cost-cutting moves last September.
