Aaron Judge celebrates the Yankees' World Series berth with his wife, Samantha Bracksieck

Aaron Judge celebrated the Yankees' entry into the World Series with his greatest champion on Saturday evening.

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

Judge celebrated with his wife of almost three years, who wore a custom jacket with 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 after the game. “That’s what matters. You can have different formulas and different ideas… but we knew it was special.”

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

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