I bought Yankee Stadium tickets and was told they would be Peak hour. I always believed that if you were not going to Manhattan or Harlem you purchased an intermediate ticket. I know I'm travelling on a different division but the distance is shorter. Can any of the workers who post here give an informed answer. I left from New Haven.

Yankees-E. 153rd Street is an intermediate stop only on the Hudson Line. For the special game-day service on the New Haven and Harlem Lines, the station is a destination station in the same category as Grand Central and Harlem. Tickets from those lines are peak or off-peak. Tickets from the Hudson Line are intermediate.

Nope, we sell peak and off-peak tickets to Yankee Stadium. The station is in the same classification as GCT and 125th. "When purchasing a ticket to Yankees-E.153rd Street
Station from a Harlem or New Haven Line station, be sure to purchase a peak ticket if part of your trip is during a peak travel time. However, if you are traveling to a weekday evening game and transferring at Harlem-125th Street or Grand Central during the peak, you can purchase an off-peak ticket between your boarding station and Yankees-E. 153rd Street Station." (directly from the schedule folder)

So to translate... If you're going to Yankees E 153 at 7:30 am from Greenwich, buy a peak ticket, since the portion Greenwich to HLM125 is considered peak. If you're going from Scarsdale to to Yankees E 153 at 5:30 pm you can buy off-peak since the portion Scarsdale to HLM125 is off-peak. If you're going from GCT/HLM125 directly to Yankees E 153 at 6:00 pm buy a peak since you are not transferring.
