Aaron Judge celebrates Yankees’ first World Series berth in 15 years with wife Samantha Bracksieck

Aaron Judge celebrated the Yankees’ World Series berth on Saturday night with his biggest champion.

The captain, 32, shared a special moment with wife Samantha Bracksieck at Progressive Field in Cleveland following the Bombers’ 5-2 victory over the Guardians in Game 5 of the ALCS, punching their ticket to the Fall Classic for the first time in 15 years.

Judge celebrated with his wife of nearly three years, who wore a custom jacket featuring images of the superstar, as they took photos on the field with Judge’s parents, Patty and Wayne.

“You win with good people and good players,” Judge said postgame. “That’s what it comes down to. You can have different formulas and different ideas … but we knew it was something special.”

The Yankees finished the regular season at 94-68 while Judge hit 58 home runs this year.

He went 0-for-4 on Saturday night and 3-for-18 across the five-game series.

Although Judge and the Yankees soaked up every moment of Saturday’s victory, including wild champagne and beer celebrations in the clubhouse, their eyes are locked on the next task: capturing the team’s first World Series pennant since 2009.
