2026 HOPE Week: Day 1
The Yankees honored Jatee Kearsley and her Bed-Stuy bakery, Je T’aime Pâtisserie, which brings affordable, finely crafted food within reach of families in challenging financial circumstances — like she had growing up. Yankees players Cam Schlittler, Carlos Rodón, Will Warren, J.C. Escarra, Spencer Jones and Ryan Yarbrough, along with Pitching Coach Matt Blake and Legends Global Yankee Stadium Executive Chef Robert Flowers, visited Je T’aime Pâtisserie and baked with Kearsley, who was joined by her family, friends and loyal customers. Additionally, Mastercard enrolled her in a program to equip her with tools and resources to help drive her business forward, and Legends Global staff will be mentoring her throughout the year.
