To be fair to the Yankees, who could not be reached for comment, an alternative tour date of June 16 was finally offered to Carrigan, but school leaders decided the stadium arrival time of 9 a.m. (which would require a West Haven departure time of 6 a.m.) would be difficult to make work.

And who knows what would happen if the bus hit traffic again on the way there.

Also, the Yankees are refunding the school for the canceled stadium tour, which cost $15 per student. The total cost of the field trip, which included stops at the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, was $65 per kid.
