Aaron Judge grew up in Linden, California, with his parents, Patty and Wayne Judge, and his older brother, John. “It’s a tight-knit community,” Aaron told NJ Advance Media. The baseball player’s parents still reside in Linden, as well as the parents of Judge’s wife, Samantha, according to the publication. It was also indicated that the outfielder is practically royalty there today.
The Yankees right fielder told the New York Post in 2015 that he felt “blessed” for having great parents. The outfielder was adopted by Patty and Wayne just one day after he was born. “I feel they kind of picked me,” Judge said. “I feel that God was the one that matched us together.” He also mentioned that he doesn’t know his birth parents, but he doesn’t mind because his adoptive parents are “the only parents [he’s] known.”
Both Patty and Wayne are retired school teachers who always made sure that a young Judge knew that school was a priority. According to MLB.com, that mindset has helped the 6-foot-7-inch-tall outfielder in his everyday life, from prioritizing things to sticking to plans. He credited his mom for a lot of his personality and the way he goes about his life. “I know I wouldn’t be a New York Yankee if it wasn’t for my mom,” he said. And it seems like his parents have always had his back from the beginning.
