WNBA rookie sensation Caitlin Clark draws a lot of attention wherever she goes. The Indiana Fever star has been a part of interesting moments.
One of the most recent included a two-week-old baby called her biggest fan. Clark was introduced to the baby at the Indiana Fever Fore Change golf outing and was invited to hold her. The former Iowa Hawkeyes star said “Hi” to the baby and called her cute before signing her onesie.
Then, she talked about the youngest people she’s given an autograph during her career.
“I think so,” Clark said when asked if the baby was the youngest fan to get an autograph from her. “I signed an ultrasound one time, but, yeah. Actual living in the world, yes.”
After making a strong impression in the first half of the 2024 WNBA season, Caitlin Clark has become one of the league’s most popular players. Many have credited her for the increase in viewership the W has experienced this year, and seeing the way fans interact with her, the popularity will only get bigger.
Clark was a common topic during the 2024 Paris Olympics, as she didn’t make the cut for the 12-player roster, which raised plenty of eyebrows. She still took advantage of her time off and even tried her luck at golf.
A video of Clark showing off her gold swing at Back 9 Golf located in Indiana surfaced this week. The No. 1 pick got a couple of swings that gained a good reaction from people. However, she didn’t seem to be happy with her performance.
WNBA analyst shares excitement to see Caitlin Clark back on the court
Ahead of her second “debut” in the WNBA, Caitlin Clark was showered with praise by a WNBA analyst. Khristina Williams appeared on “GoJo and Golic” to discuss a variety of topics, including Clark’s return to the court.
“I think that his break is really beneficial to the rookies who had not had a break since they played in college,” Williams said. “I think that I’m excited to see Caitlin Clark, especially in the second half of the season.
“I think I’m excited to see Caitlin Clark turn the page and how she’s going to get better.”
Clark and the Fever will take on the Phoenix Mercury on Friday at 7:30 p.m. ET.
