Brian Cashman injures leg, ankle
TAMPA, Fla. -- The injury bug has hit the New York Yankees again, only this
time it wasn't a player who got hurt and the mishap occurred away from the
playing field.
General manager Brian Cashman broke his right fibula and dislocated his right
ankle while skydiving with the Golden Knights of the U.S. Army Monday at
Homestead Air Force Base in Florida.
Cashman made the jump to help raise awareness for the Wounded Warrior Project
and wound up joining the ranks of the wounded when his foot caught in the
ground upon landing the tandem jump with Col. Mark Rado.

"I heard a pop in my ankle," Cashman said according to the New York Daily
News, which had a reporter with Cashman at the event.
A Yankee spokesman said Cashman was in pain but in good spirits at the
hospital. Shortly after the jump, Cashman texted the following message to
ESPNNewYork.com: "It was awesome.''
In fact, Cashman enjoyed the experience so much he went for a second jump,
which is when the injury occurred. He was taken to a local hospital, where
X-rays revealed the fracture.
"I'm in great spirits, and it was an awesome experience," Cashman said in a
release. "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."
Later, it was determined that Cashman would need surgery to set the fracture,
similar to what happened to his star shortstop, Derek Jeter, who broke his
ankle in a playoff game last October and now has a metal plate and screws
holding the injured area together.
Cashman is no stranger to risk-taking. His participation in a rappel down the
face of the 22-story Landmark Building in Stamford, Conn., while wearing an
elf costume has become an annual Christmas season event.
On Friday, he seemed excited, if a bit apprehensive, about making the jump
when talking about it to reporters covering the Yankees at George
Steinbrenner Field.
"It's an opportunity to do something that a lot of people don't do or will
ever do, so that's awesome,'' he said. "But it's not like on my list of
something I've always wanted to do. I'm kind of excited for the opportunity
to do it but at the same time, big-time nervous about doing it."
But, he added, "I would say it's harder probably to be GM of the Yankees than
jump out of an airplane.''
