New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge was at the New York City Marathon on Sunday, but rather than compete, the slugger was on dad duty.
Judge was photographed holding his one-year-old daughter, Nora, while his wife Samantha competed in the 55th edition of the race.
The Yankees star was on the corner of 88th Street and First Avenue and was seen wearing a Yankees pullover while watching the runners go by.
When Samantha arrived, Judge was seen waving and pointing so Nora could also see her mom.
The pair later met Samantha at the finish line, after she logged an unofficial time of 3:29:44.
Judge supported Samantha in previous marathons as well, cheering her on at the NYC Marathons in 2025, 2023 and 2022.

Judge and the Yankees are reeling from another postseason elimination without a title
The couple met in high school before attending Fresno State together. They got married in 2021.
Judge went through a rocky 2026 baseball season as injuries limited his playing time.
He only managed to play in 66 games this year, hitting 18 home runs and 41 RBIs during the regular season.
But Judge’s absence was felt in the playoffs after he was ruled out with a calf strain in September.
In the postseason, the Yankees managed to beat the rival Boston Red Sox before being swept by the eventual American League-champion Tampa Bay Rays.
After missing out on a World Series crown again, Judge sent a message to his own front office: ‘We’re the Yankees. I feel like they should go all in and do what they need to do.’
‘If we’ve got holes, if it’s finding certain players or personnel, whatever we need, you got to go out there and get it. That’s why I signed back here to play with the Yankees is to fight for a championship every single year and to go all in.
‘That’s what I do every offseason is get ready to give this team and this city everything I’ve got, so I expect them to do the same.’
