Alex Cooper did not have many baseball fans root, root, rooting for her during her seventh inning stretch performance over the weekend.
The “Call Her Daddy” podcast host, 30, sang “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” during the showdown between the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals at Chicago’s Wrigley Field on Sunday, July 6.
“Alright Daddy Gang and Cubs fans, are you ready?” Cooper started the rendition. “You’ve never seen something like this before.”
Cooper then launched into an operatic version of the song, complete with choreography and a couple of supportive backup dancers. The podcast mogul was lifted into the air as she struggled to finish the song through her own laughter.

“I respect Alex Cooper, but this was probably the worst seventh inning stretch I’ve ever been apart of,” another wrote.
Jomboy Media posted a video via X from inside the ballpark, which demonstrated just how loud the boos for Cooper were.
