Aaron Judge’s wife Samantha leaves rare comment for Yankees pitcher’s big honor

The New York Yankees face a must-win Game 3 against the Toronto Blue Jays in the American League Divisional Series on Tuesday, Oct. 7

After eliminating the Boston Red Sox in the Wild Card round, the Yankees traveled to Toronto where they’ve suffered two consecutive embarrassing losses at the Rogers Centre. After losing 10-1 in Game 1, the Blue Jays crushed the Pinstripes 13-7 in Game 2.

With Toronto out homering the Yankees 8-1, New York needs team captain Aaron Judge to have a night.

Cheering on Judge ahead of the do-or-die game at Yankee Stadium, the right fielder’s wife, Samantha Bracksieck Judge. The 2024 AL MVP and Samantha tied the knot in Lahaina, Hawaii in 2021.

The extremely private couple welcomed their first child together on Jan. 27, a daughter named Nora Rose.

While Samantha keeps her Instagram page private and stays away from the spotlight, she couldn’t help but celebrate Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon earning the team’s Robert Clemente Award nomination.

Rodon’s wife, Ashley Rodon, posted a photo of their family with Judge to celebrate the honor, which caught Samantha’s attention.

The seven-time All-Star’s wife commented with a yellow heart emoji. Ashley, who shares three children with Rodon, hilariously replied, “@_samanthajudge Bo’s favorite guy in this photo is up for debate 😂🤟🏻.”

Judge, the frontrunner to win the AL MVP Award for the second consecutive year, remains positive that the Yankees can still turn things around.

“We’ve been doing it all year long,” Judge told reporters. “We’ve had our backs up against the wall and been in some tough spots. In the wild card series, we lost the first one and played two elimination games. It’s kind of what we did even at the end of the year.”

“So just get back to playing our brand of baseball, put the pressure on them, and anything can happen,” Judge concluded
