  • In baseball, if a pitcher misses the strike zone 4 times, the batter gets to go to first base. This is called a walk. (Also, Jay could be saying now that he is rich and famous, he gets to do what he wants to, with free passes for high profile things. A walk in baseball could be considered a free pass.)

This all ties to Jay’s love of the New York Yankees.
