New York governor Andrew Cuomo announced Wednesday that both the Yankees and Mets will give free tickets to fans who get vaccinated for COVID-19 at their stadiums before home games.
The policy, which begins May 19, coincides with a broader reopening that Cuomo announced earlier this week.
"We want to thank Governor Cuomo for his decision, which will allow more fans into Yankees Stadium and provide us additional opportunities to further encourage people to get vaccinated," the Yankees said in a statement.
"If we can encourage more people to get vaccinated by away away Yankees tickets, we are all in.
