Currently, popular use of the concept of the Knothole Gang is a minor league baseball promotion used by many of the minor league teams as a special ticket package for children (usually no more than 12-14 years of age) in an effort to bring more families out to games.
An example of teams using the promotion:
- Billings Mustangs - $12 38-game season pass
- Jupiter Hammerheads - $15 free admittance to Tuesday games
- Rochester Red Wings - $3 ticket on selected games
- Palm Beach Cardinals - $15 free admittance to Tuesday games
- Syracuse Chiefs - $15 Sunday game activities
- Wichita Wranglers - $10 10-game pass
- St. Lucie Mets - $18 free admittance to Friday and Sunday games
In addition to game admission, souvenir t-shirts, meet-the-players autograph days, and free or discount merchandise may also be included in the membership.

Famous quotes containing the word gang:
“What lies behind facts like these: that so recently one could not have said Scott was not perfect without earning at least sorrowful disapproval; that a year after the Gang of Four were perfect, they were villains; that in the fifties in the United States a nothing-man called McCarthy was able to intimidate and terrorise sane and sensible people, but that in the sixties young people summoned before similar committees simply laughed.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
