So what did you do today?
Not the same view Cashman had as he was plummeting to Earth earlier
Brian Cashman jumped out of a plane, twice. After the first jump went off without a hitch, the Yankees’ General Manager thought, “Hey, why not? I’ll jump again!”
Well, the second jump didn’t go quite so swimmingly and Cashman landed awkwardly. He ended up fracturing his fibula and dislocating his right ankle.
While on the way to the hospital, Cashman sent a text to the Yankee beat writers telling them about what happened and said, “It was awesome.” I’m pretty sure he meant the jumping out of the plane part, not the fracture and dislocation.
Cashman had surgery this evening and it looks he may need to borrow Derek Jeter’s scooter for the foreseeable future.
Oops.
At least it was for a good cause, the Wounded Warrior Project.
“The Golden Knights are first class. While I certainly didn’t intend to raise awareness in exactly this fashion, I’m extremely happy that the Wounded Warrior Project is getting the well-deserved additional attention.”
No word yet on how long Cashman will be on the DL but I’m assuming it will be a while.
