Caitlin Clark Volunteers as Taste Tester for Cubs’ 150th-Anniversary Cookie Contest

The viral exchange shows how a star athlete’s quick post can turbocharge a team’s fan promotion.

Overview

  • Caitlin Clark, who replied Tuesday on X, offered to be the contest’s taste tester and the Cubs answered “ABSOLUTELY.”
  • The promotion invites fans to submit a cookie recipe through April 30 with an optional baking video and a short note about their Cubs fandom.
  • The team will pick finalists for a live bake-off as part of its 150th anniversary events before choosing a winner.
  • The winning recipe could be sold at Wrigley Field concession stands later in the 2026 MLB season, according to the club’s announcement.
  • No formal role for Clark has been announced, though she is a longtime Cubs fan who has thrown ceremonial first pitches for the Cubs and their Triple-A Iowa affiliate.
