Okay, so the other day, Aaron Judge’s name popped up again. You know, the big Yankees hitter. Got me curious about his background, specifically his ethnicity. It’s something I hadn’t really thought about before.
So, I decided to do a little digging. First thing I did was just open up a search engine. Typed in the obvious stuff, like “Aaron Judge ethnicity” and “Aaron Judge heritage”.
Pretty quickly, a key piece of information surfaced: Aaron Judge was adopted. He was adopted just a day or two after he was born by his parents, Patty and Wayne Judge. Saw a few articles mentioning them, they’re both white educators from California.
What I Found Out
Reading a bit more, I found interviews and articles where Judge himself discussed his background. This felt like the most reliable source, hearing it from him.
He has openly stated that he identifies as biracial. Digging just a tiny bit further, reports mentioned that his biological parents were Black and white. This obviously explains why he doesn’t physically resemble his adoptive parents.
It wasn’t super complicated to find, actually. The main points I gathered were:
- He was adopted shortly after birth.
- His adoptive parents, Patty and Wayne Judge, are white.
- He identifies himself as biracial.
- This is due to his biological parents’ heritage.
So, that was my little search mission for the day. Just wanted to satisfy my curiosity about his background. Pretty straightforward stuff once you look it up. He’s quite clear about it himself when asked.
