With the Yankees not playing an exhibition on Monday, general manager Brian Cashman decided to use the morning to go skydiving for the Wounded Warrior Project.
Uh oh. After his second jump, Cashman was being driven to a Homestead, Fla.-area hospital amid fears that he had broken his right ankle when upon landing.
“No protruding bone, as rumored,” Cashman told Ken Davidoff of the New York Post. The Post later reported Cashman had suffered a broken ankle.
Cashman did not experience anything but fun on his first jump, which went so well he was prompted to make a second.
Even after the injury, he told the Post the sky-diving experience was “awesome.”
