Major League Baseball has announced the Red Sox schedule for 2010, and at least as far as games with the Yankees are concerned, it is quite unusual.

The Yankees' only other visit to Fenway will be the first weekend in May. Between their May visit and the final series of the regular season, each team will be play about 130 games, with 9 of them being Red Sox-Yankee games at Yankee Stadium.

The Red Sox have not announced any ticket onsale dates yet, but plan on select April, May and September games going on sale during the second Saturday in December (their annual Christmas at Fenway event), and the remainder of the regular season tickets going on sale the Saturday between the NFL's conference championship games and the Super Bowl.
