Yankees general manager Brian Cashman is willing to get his hands dirty to get a job done. That was clear on June 18 as the longtime executive was tasked with spreading mulch and cutting down tree branches.
"Any job you get involved with, you try to do it right," Cashman said. "I've been doing mulching, so I want to be the best mulcher I can possibly be for them."
Cashman joined Yankees players, coaches and employees to team up with a North Jersey-based non-profit to clean up the lawn at a family home in Leonia.
As part of the team's 17th edition of HOPE Week, members of the Yankees collaborated with Wayne native Brian Schwartz and his nonprofit company "I Want To Mow Your Lawn", providing lawn care for older adults, veterans and those with financial hardships.
"It's bigger than lawn care," Schwartz said. "It's a byproduct of our mission to spread kindness with a simple thing like yardwork. Helping out neighbors in my community, I didn't think it was anything groundbreaking. I never thought 'Hey, one day I'll be mowing with the Yankees.'"
