Yankees vs. Red Sox highlights Yahoo's MLB Free Game of the Day in May

Even a casual fan can appreciate a tremendous baseball rivalry. The Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals have emerged as a strong one in recent years, and there's always excitement involved when the San Francisco Giants take on the Los Angeles Dodgers.

That said, you just can't beat an old classic. The New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox have had one of baseball's best rivalries since the infamous Babe Ruth trade back in 1919. Even when one of the teams experiences a down year, watching New York and Boston go at it is usually a tremendous, drama-filled experience.

Thanks to Yahoo Sports' Free MLB Game of the Day, you'll have the opportunity to watch those two clubs battle it out right here on Yahoo Sports on May 6.

Throughout the entire season, we'll be streaming one MLB game per day on the site. It's an opportunity for fans to see the best teams and the biggest stars. The best part: It's completely free! Games can be streamed at Yahoo's Sports HomeMLB index and video home.

Yankees-Red Sox is just one of the highlights we'll be bringing fans during May. A full schedule of games for the month is listed below:

Tired of the Yankees and Red Sox? Why not check out the World Series runners up, the New York Mets, on May 14? It is an even year, though, so you might want to hop on the Giants bandwagon early this year. You can do that on the 25th and the 30th.

Maybe you would rather watch the best of the best do their thing? We've got you covered. Bryce Harper and the Washington Nationals are set to appear May 9 and May 28. If you love tremendous feats of strength, you can't go wrong watching Giancarlo Stanton and the Miami Marlins on May 17.

We haven't even mentioned the World Series champion Kansas City Royals. They will appear as the MLB Free Game of the Day at least three times in May. Once against the upstart Chicago White Sox, who could still be in first place in the American League Central on May 21.

If none of that appeals to you, there's still hope. You see all those "Fan Vote" days? That's right, we're giving fans the opportunity to vote for which teams they would like to see on those dates. If you feel like your team is not properly represented here, or if you just want to watch one of the pitchers on your fantasy team, be sure to make your voice heard.

There's a lot to like on May's slate of games for the Free MLB Game of the Day. Be sure to keep watching during the month, and throughout the rest of the season, right here on Yahoo Sports.
