Worst 'Take Me Out To The Ball Game' Performance Ever

COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS, JUL 6 – Alex Cooper was booed during her off-key performance of the seventh-inning stretch song while the Cubs maintained an 11-0 lead, fans criticized her rendition on social media.

  • On Sunday, July 6, 2025, at Wrigley Field, Alex Cooper, host of Call Her Daddy, led the crowd in singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during the seventh-inning stretch of the Chicago Cubs' rivalry game against the St. Louis Cardinals.
  • The Chicago Cubs announced the event under the title "Big Al's Takeover," featuring Alex Cooper leading fans in the seventh-inning stretch, a tradition popularized by the late Harry Caray, who passed away in 1998.
  • Cooper started the song with an unusual vocal style and choreographed moves, laughed throughout, but fans booed loudly as the performance progressed and ended with a grand finale.
  • Multiple fans described the rendition as "brutal" and "pathetic," and noted it was rare to be booed during the stretch, though some applauded her for performing a cappella without Auto-Tune.
  • Despite the negative reception, the Cubs won the game 11-0, and Cooper has not commented on the boos or posted footage; the event highlighted tensions in preserving traditional sports performances.
