Sports fans are a passionate bunch, and they tend to see the players of their favorite teams as the biggest stars in the world. But for those who don’t follow a particular sport, those athletes might not hold much relevance. That’s what makes it so fun to compare the popularity of stars from different sports – it often leads to some heated debates.

The latest example of this is the discussion around Caitlin Clark and Aaron Judge. These two rising stars, one in women’s basketball and the other in baseball, have been making headlines lately for their impressive performances and growing fame. But which one is more popular? That’s the question that sparked a wild response from radio host Dan Beyer.

According to Beyer, the idea that Caitlin Clark could be more popular than Aaron Judge is simply unacceptable. As he put it: “No way Caitlin Clark is more popular than Aaron Judge.” Beyer argued that it’s “disrespectful to an MVP of Major League Baseball, a six-time All-Star” to suggest he’s less famous than the WNBA rookie.

Is Aaron Judge getting the recognition he deserves?

Beyer acknowledged that baseball hasn’t done the best job of marketing its stars, like Judge, but he still believes the AL MVP is far more well-known than Clark. “Baseball was not doing any favors to Aaron Judge,” he admitted, but he insisted that saying she’s more popular is just wrong.

It’s an interesting debate, and it seems the general public is split on the issue. A poll conducted during the discussion showed that 50% of respondents think Caitlin deserves more fame, while the other 50% believe both athletes are equally deserving of recognition.

At the end of the day, it’s hard to definitively say who is more popular. Both Clark and Judge have dedicated fanbases, and their fame and recognition will likely continue to grow in the years to come. But for now, it’s clear that this is a topic that can really get sports fans fired up.
