After his New York Yankees failed to repeat as World Series champs in 2010, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman started looking for a tall building to jump off of.No, Cashman wasn't suicidal, although losing the American League Championship Series to the Texas Rangers did sting quite a bit. But six weeks after the Yankees' post-season ended early, Cashman indeed found the tall building he was searching for -- and Friday, he jumped off it, dropping 300 feet to the ground.
It wasn't the same kind of freefall that the Yankees had against the Rangers in the ALCS. Rather, it was an adrenaline rush that Cashman had looked forward to for quite some time.
It was a year ago that Cashman, fresh off the Yanks' World Series win over Philadelphia, watched in awe as a number of people rappelled down the side of the Landmark Square Building in Stamford, Conn., part of the festivities of Stamford's Heights and Lights holiday event.
"I said 'That looks awesome. I'd do that,'" Cashman said at the time to event organizers. "And then Lynn, who runs the event, was like, 'We'll have you up there if you're really serious.' And then about a month ago, she called me and said, 'Are you ready to put your money where your mouth is? Are you really in.' I said I'd do it if they train me, so they trained me."
