Aaron Judge and his wife Samantha Bracksieck shared a special moment after New York Yankees slugger added his name to the record book

Aaron Judge set Yankee Stadium alight on Tuesday night, making history with his 60th homer of the season! His colossal hit in the ninth inning means he’s tied with New York Yankees legend Babe Ruth for home runs in a single season. He also moved within one of Roger Maris’ all-time American League season record.

After dazzling the New York faithful in a wild game, Judge shared a private moment with his family. He was photographed embracing his wife, Samantha Bracksieck, and mother, Patty Judge, at the stadium.

New York Post tweeted a picture of the two sharing a warm embrace.

Samantha Bracksieck and Judge were high school sweethearts from California. The couple married in a secret ceremony in Maui, Hawaii, in December 2021. The ceremony was small and private. Only the couple's family and very close friends were invited to the event. Bracksieck and Judge's parents have been common figures at most of his games and events.

Judge’s home run was one for the record books. He is now tied with Babe Ruth for most homers in a single-season. This was Judge’s third home run in two games and his ninth overall in the month of September.

“I don’t think about numbers. You talk about Ruth, Maris, [Mickey] Mantle, the Yankee greats, you never imagine as a kid getting mentioned with them. It’s an incredible honor,” Judge told the NYPost.

Not only has Judge equalled Ruth’s total in the 1927 season, but he also has 15 more games to sit pretty on top with Roger Maris. Maris holds the current record for most home runs in a single season with 61 in the 1961 season.

In the rich history of the MLB, there have only been nine 60-home run seasons. Judge is the sixth player to reach this feat.

Aaron Judge looks set to rewrite the record books with his historic chase this season, and all eyes seem to be on him.
