Never Too Early to Look Forward to Spring

The 2010 Red Sox Spring Training schedule is now out, and the Sox open it on March 3rd with the traditional opening day doubleheader with Northeastern (in the afternoon) and Boston College (at night). And the MLB portion of it opens the next day with their Ft. Myers rivals, the Minnesota Twins.

Interestingly enough, there are no games in March with the Yankees. They will play the Tampa Bay Rays five times, however. The Red Sox play the Mets twice, in Port St. Lucie on March 11th, and then will bust out the green uniforms against them on March 17th in Ft. Myers for St. Patrick's Day (pictured).

The Red Sox close the spring against the Washington Nationals on April 2nd, and then will travel up to Washington to play them the next afternoon. They then open the regular season on April 5th against New York at Fenway.

With thanks to my friend Jere for bringing this to my attention.
