Indiana Fever rookie sensation Caitlin Clark is spending her Saturday at Yankee Stadium, watching baseball's most iconic team take on the defending World Series champion Texas Rangers.
The 22-year-old was spotted walking around the New York Yankees' stadium and facilities before Saturday's game began, taking part in what appears to be a behind-the-scenes tour.
She also posed for a photo with Yankees slugger and 2024 American League MVP frontrunner Aaron Judge.

This photo of these two faces of their respective sports is already going insanely viral. The Yankees' initial post of Clark and Judge accrued over 150,000 views in just 30 minutes and has been reposted numerous times on the platform.
Entering Sunday's game against the Rangers, Judge is currently leading MLB in home runs (41), RBIs (104), and OPS (1.149). The Yankees slugger will surely win the 2024 AL MVP award if he can maintain this current pace; which would be his second time earning MVP honors after doing so in 2022.
While Clark is currently a long shot to win the WNBA MVP award this season, she's considered the clear frontrunner by many to win the WNBA Rookie of the Year award. Although she faces tough competition for the award from fellow rookie sensation Angel Reese.
Given that Yahoo Sports posted a photo of Clark throwing a baseball at the Yankees game to their X account on Saturday, many fans expected to see her throwing out the ceremonial first pitch.

But that honor was given to US Army Command Master Sergeant Matthew Williams instead.
Clark also took a photo with Yankees' injured first baseman Anthony Rizzo, and was seen posing alongside a few kids before Saturday's game began.

Given that the Yankees are playing a doubleheader against Texas today, Clark has a lot of baseball ahead of her if she plans to stay at the stadium for both games.
