Aaron Judge gifted Caitlin Clark a pair of his shoes at a recent Yankees game, and her reaction was priceless

That’s a pretty cool gift between these all-star athletes.

Indiana Fever rookie guard Caitlin Clark didn’t just meet New York Yankees superstar outfielder Aaron Judge over the weekend.

A new clip from their interaction reveals that Judge actually gifted Clark a pair of his shoes. Once she got this really unique gift from the Yankees slugger, Clark had a delightful reaction to potentially trying them on.

Not everybody in the world gets the chance to meet someone like Judge and get a pair of his actual shoes on a Yankees game day, but of course, Clark isn’t just anybody.

We’d love to see more interactions like this with our sporting greats, especially if there are really cool gifts involved and the reactions to said gifts are a priceless as this.

Caitlin Clark had the funniest reaction to meeting Aaron Judge at a Yankees game

Caitlin Clark is pretty darn funny when she wants to be.

Indiana Fever rookie guard Caitlin Clark swapped her WNBA jersey for a New York Yankees one on Saturday as she made the trip to the Big Apple for the team’s doubleheader against the Texas Rangers.

During her visit to Yankees Stadium, Clark got the chance to meet New York slugger Aaron Judge and shared her thoughts on the encounter with the YES broadcast team.

Her reaction to meeting Judge was absolutely priceless.

“He’s pretty swole,” Clark joked about Judge during her first trip to Yankee Stadium, which got a laugh from the YES broadcasters. She later described Judge a “good guy, down to earth.”

You never know who might meet whom in this wide world of sports, as Clark and Judge linking up for a greeting and a photo is pretty cool to us. Clark’s commentary on that meeting is equally as fun.

Jalen Milroe meets MLB star Aaron Judge weeks before 2024 CFB season

The Crimson Tide QB spent some time with one of baseball’s biggest stars.

SEC media days gives fans, coaches and players the sense that the college football season is right around the corner. The time between then and the start of the season is utilized as a time for teams to work on some last-minute preparations and for players to spend time off the field before getting back into the rigorous grind of the season. Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Jalen Milroe had the opportunity to take in a New York Yankees game.

While in New York, Milroe got the chance to be on the field and meet one of the baseball’s biggest stars, Aaron Judge.

Judge seemingly recognized Milroe and the two greeted each other and had a brief conversation before Judge had to leave. While it’s not football-related, Milroe wants to be successful, so he chooses to surround himself with successful pros, like Judge.

Aaron Judge and Juan Soto gave priceless reactions to Shohei Ohtani’s astounding All-Star Game homer

Aaron Judge and Juan Soto could only marvel at this incredible Shohei Ohtani All-Star Game homer.

New York Yankees superstars Aaron Judge and Juan Soto couldn’t help but be amazed by how Los Angeles Dodgers two-way phenom Shohei Ohtani hammered a home run at this year’s MLB All-Star Game.

The two Yankees All-Stars were part of the American League team that Ohtani went yard on at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, and they had the most priceless reaction to how well Ohtani hit the ball for the National League team.

Both of them had the kind of hilarious look that says, “well, what can you do?”

When you’re facing a player as generationally special as Ohtani, that’s just going to happen. Their reactions were very relatable.

Why Aaron Judge isn’t in the 2024 Home Run Derby despite leading MLB in home runs

There’s a reason for this.

Hey, you know what would be cool?

If Aaron Judge, who has 34 home runs to lead MLB in the category, would swing his mighty bat in the 2024 Home Run Derby on Monday.

But the New York Yankees slugger isn’t on the list of competitors, and the same goes for his National League counterpart, Shohei Ohtani.

Let’s concentrate on Judge, though. Why isn’t he in?

“There’s no need this year,” Judge told the New York Post.

“I’m not done with it,’’ he added. “Once it’s back in New York, I’ll be there.”

That means it might be a while before we see him in the Home Run Derby.

Aaron Judge hitting a 464-foot homer at Oracle Park wowed Giants broadcaster Mike Krukow

Giants broadcaster Mike Krukow knows an impressive homer when he sees one.

New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge hit a 464-foot home run against the San Francisco Giants on Saturday evening, one so impressive even a Bay Area broadcaster gave Judge his props.

Giants broadcaster Mike Krukow was simply amazed by Judge knocking out a homer to that part of Oracle Park, and he said as much in his spirited broadcast of the stellar hit.

Judge hitting a 464-foot homer isn’t necessarily a huge shock, but it’s got to be something else to actually witness him hit the ball that far in person.

Krukow knows Oracle Park as well as any broadcaster in the MLB, and he knows a special homer run there when he sees one.

Judge is on a heater right now, and listening to Krukow’s commentary for it was really fun. Take a listen and hear for yourself.

Aaron Judge gave a brutally honest response to Yankees fans booing him after 4-strikeout afternoon

Aaron Judge understands why people were booing at him on Saturday.

New York Yankees superstar outfielder is one of the best players of his generation. However, he’s not immune to the boo birds.

After he struck out four times during his team’s 2-0 home loss to the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday, Judge gave a brutally honest assessment of his lackluster day at-bat when talking about the boos from Yankees fans with reporters.

“I’ve heard worse, and I’d probably do the same thing in their situation,” Judge said after the loss.

Well, if that’s not as forthright an assessment from Judge about the jeers from Yankees fans, we’re not sure what is.

Judge seems very understanding of the ire from the New York crowd, as nobody expects an elite batter like him to strike out four times during a game.

However, Judge is still human, and we’re sure he’s going to find his momentum when he goes to the plate sooner than later.

Aaron Judge got called out an extremely low strike 3 and was rightfully unhappy

This was definitely not a strike.

When you’re Aaron Judge and you’re all of 6-foot-7, you know when there’s a ball thrown that’s under your knees.

That was the case on Tuesday night, when Arizona Diamondbacks ace Zac Gallen threw a 94 MPH fastball that was pretty far out of the strike zone and definitely below Judge’s knees. The umpire called a third strike and Judge expressed his displeasure. The replay from the side angle clearly shows it was a ball.

This is your weekly (daily?) reminder that we could use some robot umpires to go with the human ones. Here’s the clip and some reaction:

7 athletes Drake has brought out on the It’s All A Blur tour, including LeBron and Bronny

Drake has brought out some legends like LeBron and KD.

Over the course of the past few months, during stops on his North American tour, Drake has brought out top-tier athletes with him on stage.

It has become an expected ritual during each stop of the “It’s All A Blur Tour” co-headlined by 21 Savage.

For anyone who has followed his career, however, this isn’t exactly a surprise. One of the most classic Drake bars of all time goes like this: “I swear sports and music are so synonymous ’cause we want to be them and they want to be us.”

RELATED: New Raptor Gradey Dick was so delighted Drake followed him on Instagram

These moments are probably equally cool for Drake as they are the athletes, and the fans and the concerts all seem to enjoy them as they are happening as well.

Here were some of the stars that Drake chose to accompany him on this tour.
