The Yankees had major travel troubles on way to KC for series with Royals | The Kansas City Star

Here's guessing that the Yankees players all slept like babies on Thursday night.

They were supposed to arrive early Thursday morning in Kansas City after playing the Nationals in Washington. They Yankees' game Wednesday was postponed because of rain (as well as the end of a suspended game), so they headed to Dulles Airport in Virginia for the trip to KC, Newsday's Erik Boland reported.

That's when the trouble started.

Newsday said the flight was scheduled to leave around 10 p.m., but there was a mechanical problem with the plane, stormy weather in the area and aviation regulations limiting the number of hours a crew can work in a single shift.
