Former MLB star pitcher David Wells told Fox News Digital the advice he would give Caitlin Clark as she navigates the rise of popularity and fame in the WNBA.
Caitlin Clark’s rise to stardom in the WNBA had the entire sports world talking through the first month of the season, and it seems that not everyone in the league has embraced the rookie. The Indiana Fever guard has been met with chatter about the catalyst for her popularity coupled with hard and flagrant fouls on the basketball court.
Former New York Yankees pitcher and World Series champion David Wells has been among those who have tuned into Clark’s game to see the phenomenon. He likened her popularity to that of Michael Jordan when he started to take over the NBA with the Chicago Bulls. Wells, who is gearing up to play in the American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament next month, told Fox News Digital that Clark is going to meet her share of jealous colleagues and will need to have a 'thick skin.
Wells is set to play in the celebrity golf tournament next season along with more than 80 other competitors. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
