When a leading female hoop star meets one of the top boys of summer, it’s anyone’s guess what will happen.
In the case of WNBA rookie phenom Caitlin Clark, she was surprised at the sheer enormity of New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge after meeting him on Saturday, reported Fox News Digital.
Clark was a celebrity guest for the Yankees’ first game of a doubleheader against the Texas Rangers.
“He’s huge,” Clark told Yankees broadcasters Michael Kay and Paul O’Neill while on-air at the top of the third inning.
Judge’s 6-foot-7, 282-pound frame blew the mind of the 6-foot, 152-pound Clark.
“He’s way bigger than even people think,” Clark added. “You know he’s big, but then when you get next to him, it’s like, ‘Oh my gosh, you could probably play football, just about any sport you want to.’ He’d probably be pretty good at basketball, too. But, he’s a good guy, down-to-earth. … He’s like double my height.”
Clark, who was the first pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft by the Indiana Fever after an impressive career at Iowa, had time to visit Yankee Stadium after she was controversially left off of the U.S. women’s Olympic basketball team.
However, she was named a WNBA All-Star and is a top contender for the league’s Rookie of The Year award.
