Orioles to give fans free birthday tickets

BALTIMORE -- 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.
