Now that the World Series has officially arrived, it is anticipated that the matchup between the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers will be one to remember.
Game 1 is scheduled for Friday night in California, marking the 12th time the two legendary teams will square off for baseball’s top honour.
After a 15-year hiatus, the Yankees returned to the World Series with a thrilling victory over the Cleveland Guardians.
The Dodgers have put together the best baseball team, and Shohei Ohtani has proven to be worth every penny.
How do the WAGs for the two teams compare to one another, even when the game on the pitch is too close to call?
powerful Judge and Bracksieck met in Linden, California, and are now high school sweethearts. They both went on to attend Fresno State University after she first showed up on his Instagram account in 2014.
In 2017, Bracksieck received recognition for his work on a master’s thesis in kinesiology. The initiative examined Major League Baseball elbow ligament damage.
In December 2021, the couple married in a private ceremony at Maui, Hawaii’s Montage Kapalua Bay Resort. There were many Yankees players present.
While in Arizona for spring training in October 2020, Bracksieck was arrested on four further offences, including serious DUI. Her headlights were off when she was hauled over.
She even embarrassingly asked police officials, “Do you know who my boyfriend is?” while making the arrest, mentioning Judge by name.
The pair frequently attends sporting events in New York, including the US Open and games of the Brooklyn Nets and New York Knicks.
After winning a World Series with the Cubs in 2016, the Yankees first baseman and his wife Emily moved from Chicago to New York in 2021.
Prior to their December 2018 wedding in Florida, the three-time All-Star also proposed to Vakos with a fireworks show over Lake Michigan.
In 2016, Vakos earned a degree in food management and nutrition from Arizona State University.
In her final year of studies, she was able to secure an internship with the Cubs nutrition department, and she met Rizzo during spring training in Arizona.
He once quipped that he was “relentless” in his pursuit of Vakos, even though he had initially given Rizzo a fictitious phone number, and it was evident that his efforts were successful.
Vakos has previously acknowledged that it took some time to adjust to being married to a baseball star, despite his achievements on the pitch.
In 2017, she told Chicago Splash, “I’ll be picking out bananas and then I’ll find him doing a photo shoot with the entire Whole Foods.”
“We enter locations, and before you know it, we’re greeting people and snapping photos,” he continued. “That’s fantastic, but sometimes we’re just trying to go on a date instead.”
While playing baseball and softball for UCLA, pitcher Cole got to know his wife, Amy.
They began as buddies and grew close while working out in the university weight room in the mornings. But it took her more than a year to agree to go on a date.
Gerrit became the first UCLA player selected first overall in the MLB draft, and Amy won the 2010 College World Series with the Bruins.
They were married in 2016 at The Ritz-Carlton in Santa Barbara after dating for several years.
After three years, Cole agreed to an incredible nine-year deal worth $324 million with the Yankees.
The couple announced their pregnancy shortly after moving to New York City, and Amy gave birth to their son, Caden, in June 2020. Everett, their second son, was born in January 2023.
The Yankees’ catcher Wells has been a reliable defensive player throughout the season, but he has occasionally had trouble at the plate.
Yankees supporters will be hoping he can provide something exceptional against the Dodgers after he indicated a return to form with a home run against the Guardians in Game X.
Teresa Richardson, his spouse, keeps a quiet profile.
Before the business end of the baseball season began in July, the pair took a quick vacation together and saw The Rolling Stone at MetLife Stadium in May.
Los Angeles Dodgers
The Japanese slugger is on the verge of realising his biggest dream of winning a World Series after an incredible first season with the Dodgers.

However, Ohtani made news once more in late February when he announced his marriage.
He first kept his wife’s name a secret, but he eventually announced that he had married Mamiko Tanaka, a former Japanese professional basketball player.

In 2015, Brianna received her degree from Middle Tennessee State University. They co-founded the 5050 Foundation, which generates funds to meet children’s financial and medical needs.
