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.

  • Alex Cooper, a 30-year-old podcaster, led the crowd in singing the classic seventh-inning stretch song at the Chicago Cubs versus St. Louis Cardinals game on Sunday, July 6, 2025, held at Wrigley Field.
  • The Cubs advertised the occasion as a takeover by Alex Cooper, inviting him to energize the crowd and uphold the well-known seventh-inning stretch tradition that Harry Caray made popular before his passing in 1998.
  • Cooper began her rendition with enthusiasm and two companions performing choreographed moves, but the initial cheers quickly turned into loud boos from disappointed fans.
  • Fans described the performance as "brutal" and "pathetic," with one calling for a lifetime ban from ballparks and noting "You know it's bad when you get booed during the stretch."
  • Despite the negative reaction to Cooper's performance, the Cubs shut out the Cardinals 11-0, and no comment has been made by Cooper about the boos she received.
