No. The infield fly rule applies to a ball hit in the air in the infield area when there are less than 2 outs and where first and second base are occupied. Under the rule, the batter is automatically out but the runners are permitted to stay at their respective base, which they would do because the ball is hit in the air. In other words, the batting team give up an out in exchange for the baserunners being permitted to stay put.

Without this rule, a shrewd infielder could let the ball drop and get a cheap double play forcing the runners out at third base and second base. It would be easy because the baserunner would not be far from their base when the ball hits the ground.

If the ball is foul, the baserunners are not compelled to leave there base so there is no infield fly.

Is there an age limit if a kid can get in free or needs a ticket to the red sox games?

No an infied fly is designed to prevent an infielder from dropping the ball to get an easy double play or triple play. If the ball is foul the only thing that can happen is he catches it or nothing happens.

Well if the guy dropped it on purpose in foul territory the ball would be foul...dead ball...which means the runners could go back to there bases without being thrown out...

Where to find the abbott and costello routine for the red sox?

No, it does not apply. Because no matter what ,the runners could not advance even if the ball drops or a player actually drops the ball because it is in foul territory.
Of course, if the defensive player catches the ball the runners have the right to tag up and advance.
