Brian Cashman Calls Yankees 'The Little Engine That Could'

The New York Yankees have 27 World Series championships and play in a massive media market, but general manager Brian Cashman likened them to underdogs Wednesday while appearing on ESPN New York's The Michael Kay Show.

"We're 'The Little Engine That Could,'" Cashman said, via Coley Harvey of ESPN.com.

The description came when he was asked to compare the Bronx Bombers to the defending American League East champion and archrival Boston Red Sox.
