STAMFORD, Conn. — Men and women and boys and girls stared up at the 22-story Landmark Building from down on Broad Street. Spotlights were shining through the darkness. “Cash the Elf” was rappelling down the side to fight off the Grinch before high-fiving “Mrs. Santa” — all in midair.
Cash the Elf, aka Yankees general manager Brian Cashman, did have a rope attached to a bag of “gifts” that he retrieved up there get tangled with his other ropes, slamming him into the building — not that anyone could tell. He was entertaining and arrived safely back on Earth.
