She did play in the IHL for five seasons after the try out.

Only a total of 5 IHL games, one of which was for 1 minute, but still duly noted.

Sometimes moments of greatness are fleeting. Vince Papale caught one NFL pass and David Ayres played 8 minutes in the NHL after starting the game driving the Zamboni.

Vince Papale played for 3 seasons with the Eagles. He was mostly on special teams so he played more than 1 catch would indicate.

Sure. Charlie Faust went from unstable fan to throwing two innings of Major League Baseball too. I will make it known they were over two games.

Point being a lot of seemingly impossible things happen in sports, brief as they may be.

Surely that is so, but how does that relate to whether Caitlin Clark can make a men's team?

It relates to the idea that a woman will never play competitive basketball with men. I have said all along I'm against an absolute like that. And I've said that it's fine to discuss Clark as an individual player and say she isn't the one. But that opinion seems to be eclipsed by one that applies to all women.
