Alex Cooper Strikes Out With Campy Rendition of ‘Take Me Out to the Ball Game’ at Chicago Cubs Game
Alex Cooper, host of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, struck out while singing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” during the Chicago Cubs’ game on July 5.
In 2001, Nike aired a commercial featuring a diverse group of Major League Baseball players singing lines of the song in their native languages. Ken Griffey Jr. and Mark McGwire sang lines in English, joined by Alex Rodriguez (Caribbean Spanish), Chan Ho Park (Korean), Kazuhiro Sasaki (Japanese), Graeme Lloyd (Australian English), Éric Gagné (Québécois French), Andruw Jones (Dutch), John Franco (Italian) and Iván Rodríguez (Caribbean Spanish). Eddie Vedderperformed the song at Wrigley Field during the seventh-inning stretch at Game 5 of the 2016 World Series between the Cleveland Indians and Chicago Cubs.
