Today around 1:00p.m. Eastern time the MLB released the 2010 season schedule for all 30 big league teams. Now unless I am mistaken this is quite early for Bud Selig to already set a schedule for next season; especially since the 2009 season is not yet even in the playoffs. All of the other pro sports leagues release their schedule following the conclusion of the playoffs in that respective league, including little followed leagues such as MLL and NLL (both lacrosse leagues). This is absolutely absurd for the schedule to be put out there so early, BUT since we have it why not take a little look see.
First thing the Yankees open the season @Boston for a 3 game series in Fenway. Another questionable decision by the MLB since it makes more sense to have opening day be games that may not sell out otherwise. Boston/NYY will always sell out, but it does add for extra excitement if your a Yankee or Red Sox fan. The Yankees home opener will be on April 13th vs. the Rangers, and overall in Aprilthe Yankees play 12 games vs. the AL West (6 against LAA). May brings us our first Interleague series @ the NYM from 5/21-5/23. Then comes June which has the Yankees 5 other interleague Series against the Astros, Phillies, Mets, Diamondbacks, and Dodgers (in LA so no NY return for Torre unless its a Dodgers/Yankees World Series). July 12th and 13th brings the 2010 Homerun Derby and Allstar Game, to be held in Angel Stadium, which will mark the 3rd time an Allstar game has been played in Anaheim. August and September should bring some exciting playoff push baseball and the season ends in most likely semi-dramatic fashion in Boston 10/1-10/3. Hopefully come the 2010 playoffs Yankee fans will be watching a World Series defence and run for a 28th title by their NY Yankees.
