"My wife has been with me through it all and she’s calm as a cucumber" - New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge says his wife never succumbed to media hype throughout his famed career
New York Yankees star Aaron Judge has admitted that his wife, Samantha Bracksieck, has never folded in front of the cameras since entering MLB in 2016.
In a press conference, the 30-year-old was questioned as to how his family deals with the paparazzi, with Judge terming his wife as "calm as a cucumber.”
He said:
“My wife has been with me through it all and she’s calm as a cucumber, that’s for sure.”
There was no confirmation if Bracksieck was in Toronto for the three-game series against the Blue Jays. But Judge's mom, Patty, was seen with Roger Maris Jr. when "All-Rise" struck his historic 61st homer of the season.
Judge ended an eight-game wait to match the record set by Roger Maris in 1961. The Yankees have clinched the AL East title, with their eyes now set on a deep run in the postseason.
Aaron Judge is a married man!
Congratulations to Aaron and Samantha https://t.co/ZQPnCg1FIk
Will Aaron Judge win the Triple Crown this year?
After a scintillating season, Judge has cemented himself as one of the Yankees' all-time greats. He is currently behind Luis Arraez in the American League batting race at .313, while leading MLB in homers and the AL in RBIs.
There have only been 12 instances in MLB history of a player leading in batting averages, home runs and RBIs. The most recent instance was Miguel Cabrera in 2012 with the Detroit Tigers.
Aaron Judge also leads the AL in 11 of the 12 categories needed for an unprecedented Quadruple Crown. The 12 categories are: home runs, RBIs, batting average, runs, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, OPS, walks, extra-base hits, total bases, wRC+ and WAR.
Since winning Rookie of the Year in 2017, Judge has gone from strength to strength in the AL.
With the postseason looming, the New York outfit is set to take on the Texas Rangers next as Judge looks to build on his memorable season.
