Close but not exactly. Mileage to a second job (this is the case for most of us who are calling ball) is deductible to the extent that it exceeds our normal commute to our primary job.
For example, if you commute 15 miles each way to work. Your work commute is 30 miles. You leave work and then drive 40 miles to a ball game, then drive 25 miles to get home. Then your 65 miles to the game less your 30normal commuting miles leaves you with 35 deductible miles.
Deduct all the expense of your officiating include all of your uniforms.
