Does this mean Philadelphia Phillies fans can claim Caitlin Clark as one of their own?
Indiana Fever teammate Lexie Hull recorded Clark doing play-by-play of a Phillies game and posted the video to TikTok, where it immediately went viral.

The basketball superstar was asked about the video on Saturday ahead of Sunday’s playoff game against the Connecticut Sun, and said she’s been following the team, which will delight many Phillies fans.
“I’ve kind of been following the Phillies, so I kinda know some of their players and stuff,” Clark told reporters. “It was pretty funny. I messed up a few times, but that’s a hard gig! And also, I was out of breath and exhausted, so shoutout to all the commentators out there. I did it for like two minutes and I needed a break.

“I don’t know if commentating is in my future, but who knows? Maybe one time for fun somebody will let me do it.”
Clark does have experience in the booth when she joined the New York Yankees broadcast earlier this summer.
Clark revealed she follows the Phillies because her boyfriend is a fanatic.
“My boyfriend grew up a really big Phillies fan, so I kind of had to like the Phillies, but I do like them. I like Bryce Harper,” Clark said, before adding, “I like the Phillies, so I guess I’ll cheer for them this postseason.”
Make it happen, Phillies! We all want to see a John Kruk/Caitlin Clark booth for a game.
