Yankees conclude HOPE Week by baking cookies for sick children

Alex Rodriguez and his teammates got caught with their hands in the cookie jar. Literally.

But they didn't get in trouble, because they were the ones who baked them.

"They came out good," Rodriguez said. "I wish my two daughters were here. They are always making fun, saying that Daddy is a terrible cook."

The Yankees capped HOPE Week Friday by trading in their hats and uniforms for chef hats and aprons at Rockland BOCES. They baked for the nonprofit foundation, Baking Memories 4 Kids, which sells cookies during the holiday season to fund all-expense paid vacations for families of children with life-threatening illnesses.
