The Red Sox and Yankees will play for the first time in the Joe Girardi/Hank era. Even though it is only a spring training game there are some interesting story lines. Andy Pettitte will be starting for the Yankees and there may be some STER…OIDs chants from Sox fans that were able to get tickets in Tampa. Bartolo “el Gordo” Colon will start for the Sox and get to experience the rivalry for the first time. Both teams are playing most of their starters in this game. There is also the Youk/Joba incident and the Papelbon/Hank war of words in the background. Since it is on St. Patrick’s Day the Sox may wear their green uniforms. The game will be shown on NESN at 1 pm.
