In the coming months, Major League Baseball (MLB) is hosting a number of events to support autism awareness.

For example, the New York Yankees are offering half-price tickets to members of the Autism Speaks community for their Saturday, August 9 home game against the Cleveland Indians. The offer is valid for select general, non-premium seating areas. Fans may purchase these tickets at a half-price savings from the regular advance ticket price. The discount is on a first-come, first-serve basis and is only available online at http://newyork.yankees.mlb.com/ticketing, using the “autism” offer code. You may call (212) YANKEES with any questions. The offer expires August 8, 2014.
