The WNBA is already witnessing the impact of Caitlin Clark. Everywhere she goes, her superstardom makes her the center of attention. Whether it’s in an opponent’s arena or in public, fans want to see her. However, the Indiana Fever superstar did not realize how extraordinary it had become until she was asked for an autograph.
The rookie was with her teammates at the Fever Fore Change golf event in Indiana. After taking a few swings to see who could hit the farthest, a fan approached her wearing a Fever cap. Caitlin Clark was stunned when the woman introduced her two-week-old baby and asked her to sign the baby’s onesie. After signing, the woman asked the 22-year-old if the baby might be her youngest fan. She said:
I think so. I signed an ultrasound one time. But actual living in the world, yes.Caitlin Clark said
Clark then posed for pictures with the baby and other fans, still stunned by the extent of her fame.
Clark has grown accustomed to the craze she has seen develop ever since she became part of the Indiana Fever, routinely signing autographs at opponent arenas or fans approaching her even when she is spending some time with her boyfriend. However, this baby signing tops the ultrasound she was asked to sign a few weeks into her first WNBA season.
It goes to show that the 22-year-old from Des Moines, Iowa, has the world wanting to be a small part of her stardom. She is setting records in her rookie season and is in a heated Rookie of the Year race. But there is no doubt that her popularity is bringing a lot of people to watch her play basketball.
Caitlin Clark helped Indiana Fever set growth records
The autograph for the 2-week-old baby is an indication of what Caitlin Clark means to the world. That popularity has rubbed off on the Indiana Fever ever since she decided to declare for the WNBA draft. The team released a statement showing their growth from the period of April to July.
In that time, the team has garnered more than a million followers on social media, has sold 1000% more merchandise and brought in more than double the number of sponsors. But the most telling impact of all is that the Fever has more views on their social media channels than any other team across all the major sporting leagues in America.
It is truly a remarkable achievement when compared to the likes of the richest sports franchises in the country. It further proves the point that Caitlin Clark, a young 22-year-old from Des Moines, Iowa, has changed the fortunes of her team. With her playing at a high level, the WNBA will soon reap the benefits.
