The Knot Hole Gang Kids' Club has been part of the Rochester community for almost as long as the Red Wings have. Every year, thousands of young Red Wings fans ages 4-14 take part in this club, which has been a part of Rochester Red Wings Baseball for 86 years.

Knot Hole Gang Kids' Club members can attend all Red Wings and Empire State Yankees Knot Hole games for only $4.00 per game ($5.00 day of game)... parents/guardians of Knot Hole Members receive $1 off their ticket when attending Knot Hole games with their child. Applications to join the Kids' Club are free until Opening Day, and $2 per kid after Opening Day.

The membership card also includes one coupon for a free Coca-Cola product, and a coupon for a free members-only poster featuring Spikes, Mittsy and some of your favorite Red Wings players. Click here to see a sample Kids' Club member poster.

The Knot Hole Gang Kids' Club also includes the chance for members to experience these great benefits:

• At each Knot Hole Gang Kids' Club game, one selected member will be featured as Honorary Coach of the Game, and will bring the lineups to home plate with the Red Wings manager....a second member will throw out a First Pitch before the game
  
• At each Knot Hole Gang Kids' Club game, one member and his family will enjoy a VIP behind the scenes tour, and meet a player or coach for a photo
  
• E-mail updates for members and their families with Knot Hole Gang Kids' Club info, reminders, special discounts, and more
  
• Before one Knot Hole Gang Kids' Club game, Kids' Club members will enjoy a pre-game, members-only photo and autograph session with Red Wings players and mascots Spikes and Mittsy. This event will be held in the Walk of Fame Cafe area, located just behind the left field foul pole near the Plymouth Ave. entrance gate.

Knot Hole Gang Kids' Club members: Be sure to register at Guest Services as soon as you arrive at the game, so you can be eligible to participate in the VIP tour, first pitch, and honorary coach activities.Click here to see a photo gallery of Knot Hole Gang Kids' Club members enjoying these benefits at the ballpark!

DID YOU KNOW??? In 1933, a 13-year-old Rochester girl wondered why the Red Wings Knot Hole Gang only had boys as members - and did something about it! Doris Fox was the first female member of the Red Wings Knot Hole Gang. On July 6, 2009 - the day before her 90th birthday - Doris was introduced on the field, and threw out the first pitch.
