Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark hit Yankee Stadium as part of her Olympic break for the Bombers’ doubleheader against the Rangers, getting a tour of the grounds before the game, while also meeting some players.
She, along with boyfriend Connor McCaffery, were pictured on the grass in foul territory during batting practice as the Yankees prepared for the twin bill.
Clark was also seen in a training room with Yankees superstar Aaron Judge.
“[Anthony] Rizzo was amazing. He gave us a whole tour of the clubhouse,” Clark said while being interviewed during the game on WFAN. “Meeting all of them, they’re just so down to earth.
They understand as another professional athlete that days get long. It’s fun to interact with other athletes.”

Clark was controversially left off Team USA’s women’s basketball squad at the Paris Olympics, but that did allow her to take a break from basketball for the first time in a year, as she only had a short layoff between her Iowa Hawkeyes losing the national title game and starting her rookie year with the Fever.She’s taken full advantage, having spent some time soaking up the sun on a boat with teammates and attending a Jordan Davis concert, amongst other activities.

Clark’s first season in the WNBA has been a sensation that picked up right where her college career left off.
While the Fever struggled early, Clark easily made the All-Star team and has drawn sold-out buildings wherever she goes, with merchandise sales through the roof.
Her rivalry with Angel Reese has also been front-page news each time the Fever have faced the Chicago Sky.

While there has been ample second-guessing of Clark being left off the US Olympic team — including from Dawn Staley, who is on the selection committee — the biggest impact so far has been less on the results than the crowds watching Team USA romp through the tournament.
Team USA dismissed Australia 85-64 in the semifinal on Friday to move to the gold medal round against France.
They are 5-0 in the Olympics so far, with just one opponent coming within double digits.
The powerhouse American squad has not lost since 1992, when it settled for bronze.
