Tim McGraw rocks a Caitlin Clark jersey (again!) at recent concert

Add Tim McGraw to the list of Caitlin Clark mega fans.

Caitlin Clark has become a cultural phenomenon in women’s basketball.

After a record-setting career at Iowa, Clark — one of the most highly anticipated WNBA draft picks of all time — was selected first overall by the Indiana Fever on Monday night.

Clark brought a lot of attention to the college game, helping lead to attendance records for both Iowa and its opponents as well as viewership records during the recent NCAA tournament.

It seems she’s also grown a celebrity fanbase. At a concert in Iowa last month, country music star Tim McGraw rocked Clark’s Hawkeyes jersey. He did so again while performing in Indianapolis on Thursday night, this time wearing Clark’s new Fever threads.

McGraw is clearly a big fan of Clark, who became the NCAA Division I all-time scoring leader this season. He’s not the only one, as Monday’s draft with Clark as the headliner was the most watched of all time.

Clark is expected to do big things in the WNBA, and it’s obvious the hype train isn’t slowing down now that she’s left college.

Tim McGraw wore his dad’s Phillies jersey during the World Series in heartwarming moment

This will give you goosebumps.

As the Philadelphia Phillies chase a third World Series title, they’ll have Phillies legend Tug McGraw’s kid cheering them on.

Country music icon Tim McGraw was in attendance Tuesday night at Philly’s Citizens Bank Park for Game 3 of the World Series to show his support for the home team.

In a really special moment for Phillies fans, the jumbotron gave Tim McGraw the spotlight to show him off wearing his dad’s jersey. No doubt, the Philly crowd went wild to have the musician in attendance, celebrating his dad’s former team.

If this doesn’t give you goosebumps, you’re either a reeling Houston Astros fan or you just hate the game of baseball.

Some history: One of the best pitchers ever to play for Philly, Tug McGraw played a critical role in willing the city its first World Series title in 1980 after doing the same for the New York Mets in 1969. For his contributions to the franchise, he’s a member of the Phillies Wall of Fame.

After his death in 2004, Tim McGraw threw out the first pitch and sprinkled some of his dad’s ashes on the pitcher’s mound ahead of Game 3 of the Phillies’ 2008 World Series. The Phillies won the game 5-4 over the Tampa Bay Rays and would wind up winning the series, the franchise’s second.

Tim McGraw attending another game Game 3, this time for the 2022 World Series, brings everything full circle and gives Philly plenty of good vibes going ahead. Funny enough, the Phillies honored Tug McGraw after his passing in 2004 with a shamrock patch on their jerseys, another sign of good luck then and now.

Tug McGraw is no doubt looking down from Heaven, proud of his Phillies’ for their Game 3 offensive avalanche on the Houston Astros. Maybe this goodwill really will carry Philly to its third World Series title.

After all, as Tug used to say, Ya Gotta Believe!
