Cashman was at Foley’s NY on West 33rd Street to take part in a promotional event for MLB Front Office Manager, a video game from 2K Sports.
I’m not a gamer but the concept and graphics looked pretty cool. It’s like a fantasy team x 10. You build a team, you make all the moves a GM would make and you run through the season from the start of spring training. You even hire a staff and develop a scouting philosophy. At one point Hank Steinbrenner shows up with a cigarette and tells your plans to the other teams.
OK, that part I made up. It’s not that realistic.
