"Half my foot will go in there" - Caitlin Clark’s priceless reaction to Aaron Judge’s signed cleats leaves Yankees captain in stitches
WNBA rookie sensation Caitlin Clark received signed cleats from New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge during her visit to the Bronx over the weekend. MLB's home run leader gifted Clark a pair of signed Jordans, leaving the Indiana Fever rookie shocked at the size of them.
On Monday, the Yankees socials went on fire when they first intimated a collaboration between Judge and Clark. In a video of the collaboration, Clark, wearing the Yankees pinstripes, had a priceless reaction on receiving the signed cleats.
"That's awesome. I appreciate it. Thank you. I don't know if they'll fit anywhere yet. Half my foot will go in there," Clark said.
Caitlin Clark's first visit to Yankee Stadium; talks about first impression on meeting Aaron Judge
Caitlin Clark arrived in the Bronx on Thursday and attended the Yankees' doubleheader scheduled against the Texas Rangers on Saturday. She was even in the booth, talking about her excitement over meeting Aaron Judge and other Yankees stars and the rain in New York.
"This is my first time at Yankee Stadium. So it's a great day for it. Obviously the last couple days have been a little rainy here a little yeah. I've been here since Thursday. So I was like, oh no hope it clears up, but it's been great," Clark said.
"He's way bigger than even people think like, 'hey, I know,' you know, he's big but then when you get next to him, it's like, 'oh my gosh, you could probably play football or just about any sport,'" Clark said about her first impression of Aaron Judge.
"He wants to probably be pretty good at basketball too. But yeah, he's easy. He's a good good guy down-to-earth," she added.
Caitlin Clark and Aaron Judge are considered some of the best players in their respective sports.
Clark, coming off a historic college season, was picked first overall by the Indiana Fever in the 2024 draft. She immediately paid dividends, earning her first All-Star selection. With the WNBA on break due to the Paris Olympics, Clark is using her free time to visit several places she hasn't been before.
Meanwhile, Aaron Judge leads the majors with 42 home runs and is currently a runaway for the 2024 AL MVP honors.
