Anyone following the New York Yankees this Saturday, or at least scrolling through social media, likely noticed a special guest at the ballpark. Caitlin Clark, the rising star of the WNBA’s Indiana Fever, made her first visit to Yankee Stadium and had an unforgettable encounter with Yanks’ slugger Aaron Judge.
Clark, decked out in a Yankees jersey and cap, was in attendance before the start of a doubleheader against the Texas Rangers. The Yankees may have split the games with an 8-0 win and a 9-4 loss, but the highlight of the day wasn’t on the field—it was Clark’s meeting with Judge.

In a visit to the Yankees’ broadcast booth during the top of the third inning, Clark shared her thoughts on meeting Aaron Judge with Michael Kay and Paul O’Neill. “He’s way bigger than even people think,” Clark remarked, clearly impressed by the towering outfielder.
“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.’”
Clark’s reaction to Aaron Judge’s size didn’t stop there. “He’s like double my height,” she added with a laugh. “Not just tall, he’s pretty swole.” Her light-hearted comments brought some humor to the broadcast, with Clark admitting that meeting Judge was a moment she wouldn’t forget.
Aaron Judge, known for his towering presence and friendly demeanor, left a strong impression on Clark, who described him as “a good guy, down to earth.” The mutual respect between the two athletes was evident, showing that even in different sports, there’s a shared admiration for greatness.
For Caitlin Clark, her visit to Yankee Stadium wasn’t just about enjoying a day at the ballpark; it was about meeting one of baseball’s biggest stars and creating a memory that fans will be talking about for a long time.
