Yankees Manager Makes His Opinion Of Caitlin Clark Crystal Clear

WNBA rookie Caitlin Clark was recently at Yankee Stadium, where she attended a game between the Yankees and Texas Rangers. Following the 9-4 loss to the Rangers, Yankees manager Aaron Boone spoke about Clark's presence in the stadium.

In the post-game press conference, Boone was asked about the Indiana Fever guard and shared high praise for the 22-year-old. Clark met Boone and stars like Aaron Judge before the game.

He continuously called her "impressive" and even mentioned that some of the guys at the Yanees facility were "starstruck" when they saw Clark.

"Really cool," Boone said. "She was impressive. Got to meet her in my office... She was pretty impressive. It was fun to see, the amount of our guys that were kind of just, starstruck being around her. Pretty cool meeting her, and she brought a good start to the day with her."

Boone showed clear respect for the young WNBA star, taking the time to give her credit despite the New York loss.

Boone has been the Yankees manager since 2018. He was a player in the MLB from 1997 to 2009, competing with the Cincinnati Reds, Cleveland Indians, Florida Marlins, Washington Nationals, Houston Astros, and Yankees.

While he's seen as a leader on the diamond, Boone shared some pointers on Clark.

The Fever rookie has been putting on a show in her first year in the league. She's currently averaging 17.1 points and 8.2 assists per game, leading the WNBA in assists per game.

Caitlin Clark has helped lead an incredible change, and as Boone explained, has been extremely "impressive."

She participated in the most-viewed WNBA game of the last 23 years, an 88-87 loss to Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky on June 23, where both teams welcomed over 2.3 million viewers.

Clark has become one of the nation's biggest sports stars, and her influence now extends to the diamond.
