Jackie Bradley Jr.‘s biggest cheerleader? His daughter!
Following the Boston Red Sox outfielder’s World Series win Sunday night — where his team took on the Los Angeles Dodgers in game five, besting them 5 to 1 — Bradley’s wife Erin and their 2-year-old little girl Emerson Claire couldn’t help raving to reporters about him.

Erin told Wade that the night was “super exciting” for the family, explaining that she felt her husband’s moment was a long time coming.
“I think people have doubted him his whole career and it’s just really nice to see all of his hard work come to fruition and that people are actually seeing what I know he can do and he knows he can do,” she said. “I’m happy for him. I’m proud of him.”
“It’s just like any other relationship,” Erin shared of the “long season” she and Bradley, 28, experienced leading up to the Red Sox’s championship win. “We have a very normal marriage, I like to say, outside of baseball.”

“It’s hard — I applaud all the other ladies that are married to these men,” she continued. “It’s a long season and we do a lot and we take care of a lot, and so it’s exciting to be able to be here and cheer for our guys.”
Sunday’s win marks an impressive fourth Red Sox championship claim in the last 15 years, with the last being in 2013 — the same year Bradley and Erin wed. (He also joined the team that year.)
