Two months after taking the country by storm during the NCAA tournament, Caitlin Clark’s star power still appears to be alive and well away from the hardwood.
The mega-popular Iowa star and reigning Naismith Player of the Year made her presence known in a major way on Saturday as a special guest for an MiLB game between the Iowa Cubs and Columbus Clippers in Des Moines, Iowa.
As arguably the state’s most famous athlete, it was expected fans would come in droves to see Clark, whose attendance at the game also included a meet-and-greet and tossing out the ceremonial first pitch. While a strong turnout is exactly what the Cubs got, the massive crowd on-hand prior to the game was proof positive that Clark’s name still has a way to draw crowds.
