nytimes.com - When he was a boy in Lexington, Ky., Brian Cashman never had visions of becoming the Yankees’ general manager. He was not from the Bronx. He was being raised in bluegrass country, where basketball is king and children daydream of playing for the University of Kentucky.
“I think every kid in Kentucky has that dream,” Cashman said.
Cashman’s fantasy was so specific it included the ways he would help beat Denny Crum’s Louisville Cardinals, Kentucky’s hated cross-state rival. His family lived about a 15-minute drive from Rupp Arena, where the Wildcats play, and Cashman cherished the times his father got tickets.
