Playoff-bound Caitlin Clark tried her hand at announcing a recent Major League Baseball game, as revealed by one of her Indiana Fever teammates.

Lexie Hull posted the silly clip of Clark doing play-by-play for the Milwaukee Brewers’ 2-1 win over the visiting Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday night. That footage has since gone viral on TikTok.

‘And that ball is hit to the shortstop,’ a snickering Clark began in the bottom of the fourth inning. ‘Rojas throws over to first base and that’s not going to be enough. Infield single, William Contreras.’

She may have confused Phillies shortstop Trea Turner and centerfield Johan Rojas on that play.

Undeterred, Clark continued.
Bottom fourth,’ Clark said, her voice quivering slightly as Hull giggled in the background. ‘Score of 1-0 Phillies. This brings someone to the plate… Here comes the 0-1 pitch. Low, outside.’
Clark didn’t just stick to the game action. She commented on Phillies ace Aaron Nola wearing ‘sketchers,’ and later was quick to reveal a mistake.

‘And a swing and a miss, for the second strikeout of the inning,’ she said. ‘Nola gets out of it after the lead runner gets on.’

Slightly embarrassed, Clark turned to the camera and confessed: ‘Might have been the second batter. I’m not sure.’

Once again, Clark forged ahead, informing her audience that they were entering the ‘top of the fifth’ following a commercial break.

‘We’ll be back,’ she said, by which point her commentary had devolved into laughter.
As it turns out, Clark had been talking up her announcing skills to Hull, who had demanded to see them in person.

Clark happily obliged.
‘I told [Hull] that sometimes I’ll just commentate some games, so she said, ”Alright let’s do it right now,”’ Clark told reporters Saturday. ‘I didn’t really know she was recording until a little ways through. But it’s kind of fun.’

And why did she choose a Phillies-Brewers game?

‘I’ve been following the Phillies, so I kind of know some of their players and stuff,’ added Clark, whose boyfriend, Connor McCaffery, is a confirmed Philadelphia fan. ‘It was pretty funny. I messed up a few times.

‘That’s a hard gig,’ she continued. ‘Also, I was out of breath and exhausted. Shoutout to all the commentators out there. I did it for like two minutes and I needed a break. And in baseball, there’s a lot of dead time so you need to find random things to talk about. So I was talking about his shoes, talking about random stuff. A little different than basketball.’

Clark, admittedly, is not a diehard baseball fan.

In fact, she’s fond a few teams after growing up in Iowa, where the Chicago Cubs have a Triple-A affiliate, and recently visiting the New York Yankees dugout in the Bronx.

‘My boyfriend grew up a really big Phillies fan, so I kinda had to,’ Clark said. ‘I still like the Cubs, I like the Yankees. I’m not like a diehard any baseball team… I liked the Chiefs before the Chiefs were really good too, so I’m not a bandwagoner either.’

The Fever open their playoff run on Sunday at 3pm in Connecticut, where they will face the favorited Suns in Game 1 of their first-round series.
McCaffery, meanwhile, is preparing for his first season as an assistant men’s coach at Butler in Indianapolis.

Johnny Gaudreau’s widow Meredith admits it’s been ‘really hard’ to watch the hockey season start up again just weeks after her husband’s tragic death.

Gaudreau, an NHL veteran who was poised to enter his third season with the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2024, and his younger brother Matthew were killed after being hit by an alleged drunk driver while out cycling in New Jersey last month.

And Meredith, who already had two children with Johnny and recently revealed she is pregnant with their third, has opened up on how hard it’s been watching NHL preseason games begin three weeks on from the fatal crash.

‘It’s been really hard watching hockey start up and seeing how different my life is now,’ she wrote in a heartbreaking post on Instagram.

The pair lost their lives the night before their sister Katie’s wedding, while both of their partners are currently expecting children.
My whole life was taking care of John and our kids. It’s all I ever wanted.’
Meredith and Johnny tied the knot back in September 2021, before welcoming their first child, daughter Noa, a year later, and son Johnny as recently as six months ago.

In a tearful tribute at his funeral this month, Gaudreau’s wife revealed she is currently nine weeks pregnant with their third baby following his tragic passing.

‘In less than three years of marriage, we have created a family of five,’ she said. ‘It doesn’t even sound possible, but I look at it as the ultimate blessing. How lucky am I to be the mother of John’s three babies, our last one being a blessing and so special despite these difficult circumstances.’

Meredith added that when she shared the news with her husband he was ‘beaming’ and ‘so excited.’

‘I was so nervous, because this was again, a total surprise, but his reaction was just immediately kissing me and hugging me,’ she said.
The soon-to-be mother-of-three was seen holding her daughter and son as she entered St. Mary Magdalen Catholic Church for the funeral in Media, Pennsylvania.

Dozens of mourners packed into the church for the service, which took place less than two weeks after the fatal accident. A private viewing was held on Sunday.
The brothers’ widows gave emotional tributes to their husbands, recalling the close bond they shared as siblings and their dedication to family.

‘I still feel like the luckiest girl in the world to be his wife,’ Meredith said. ‘He was and still is my soulmate.’

Matthew’s wife Madeline, who is also pregnant with their first child, recalled how the brothers ‘were attached at the hip.’

Vice President Kamala Harris laughed Thursday about shooting a potential intruder to her home, despite her record of opposing some self-defense gun laws as racist.

Harris spoke about gun ownership during an appearance with Oprah Winfrey at a political forum Thursday night, confirming that she owned a gun.

“If somebody breaks into my house, they’re getting shot, sorry,” Harris said laughing

‘Yes, yes. I hear that, I hear that,’ Winfrey replied.
Harris made the comment defending the right of gun owners to defend themselves and their property despite previously condemning self defense gun laws as racist.

In 2020, Harris condemned ‘stand your ground’ self defense laws, during an interview with the gun control group Everytown for Gun Safety.

She argued that those laws were ‘used as an excuse if not a cover for people who are motivated by racism and racial profiling.’

‘It has been used as an excuse to kill black and brown people,’ she added.
Self defense laws exist in 28 states, allowing a person to defend themselves and their property using deadly force without a requirement to retreat from an attacker first, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Some states have specifically included the words ‘stand your ground’ to their laws to make it more clear.

But Harris described such laws as dangerous for minority communities as gun owners were using them as ‘a shield for their misbehavior, and frankly their racism.’

Even as Vice President, Harris stated her willingness to end ‘stand your ground’ laws during an interview with Telemundo.

When the news anchor spoke about a story of a man who was shot after he knocked on the wrong door, Harris lamented that such laws were wrong and needed to be changed.
‘I think there has to be,’ she said. ‘We need to pass reasonable gun safety laws in this country. Babies are dying. Babies.’

She denounced state and local lawmakers defending self-defense laws as cowards.

‘Stand. You want to talk about stand? Stand for principles, stand for the safety of our children. Stand for what’s reasonable,’ she said.

A Harris spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment from DailyMail.com.

Harris has long supported tougher gun control legislation, including a government sponsored mandatory gun buyback program for assault weapons.

Since taking over the 2024 presidential nomination from President Joe Biden, however, Harris has told voters that she will not take away their guns.

‘I’m not trying to take everyone’s guns away,’ Harris said during the forum.
