Snow? What snow?

ESPN announced its early slate for "Sunday Night Baseball" Wednesday, and four of the first seven games feature the Yankees or Mets.

The Yankees visit the Red Sox April 10 and host them May 15; they also host the Rangers April 17 in a 2010 ALCS rematch.

The Mets visit the Phillies May 1. They also visit the Giants on July 10.

ESPN will use a new announcing team this season of Dan Shulman, Bobby Valentine and Orel Hershiser.
