Caitlin Clark channeled her inner “Talladega Nights” this week in a moment that quickly went viral. The Indiana Fever rookie sensation was featured in a video shared by the team on social media, where she was seen signing a rather unexpected item—a two-week-old baby’s onesie.
The video, captured during the Fever Fore Change golf outing, shows Clark happily obliging the request of an enthusiastic mother who asked her to autograph her newborn’s outfit.
While Clark didn’t quite mimic Ricky Bobby’s famous scene of signing a baby’s forehead in the movie “Talladega Nights,” this moment was certainly the next best thing, drawing plenty of laughs and admiration from fans online.
In the video, the 22-year-old WNBA All-Star mentioned that this was the youngest fan she had ever signed something for, noting that while she had previously autographed an ultrasound photo for a supporter, this was her first time signing something for a fan outside the womb.

Clark, who is averaging an impressive 17.1 points and 8.2 assists per game in her rookie season, has rapidly become one of the most prominent figures in sports.
Fans are eager to get anything they can signed by the rising star, making this unusual autograph a memorable one for both Clark and the lucky family.
The playful moment has drawn comparisons to another unexpected autograph, like the one NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers famously signed last year.
Clark’s lighthearted interaction with her fans continues to solidify her status not just as a phenomenal athlete but also as a beloved personality in the sports world.
