Alex Cooper Savagely Booed At Wrigley Field For Desecrating Long Tradition
Alex Cooper has millions of fans of her “Call Her Daddy” podcast ― and it sounded like none of them were at Chicago’s Wrigley Field on Sunday when she performed “Take Me Out To The Ballgame.”
She was booed. Lustily. Savagely. Brutally. Pick your adverb. It was bad.
“You’ve never seen something like this before,” Cooper said. And she might have been right.
It probably didn’t help that at first she appeared to attempt a bad impression of late and beloved Chicago Cubs announcer Harry Caray, who was famous for leading the Wrigley faithful in the “Take Me Out” chant during the seventh inning stretch.
Cooper’s sorta backup dancers and giggle-pocked delivery were perhaps errors as well.
Hey, at least she has more subject matter for her next show. And her heavily despised take didn’t hurt the home team’s performance. The Cubs beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 11-0.
Please note the ESPN-televised version, which you can watch below, isn’t as boo-heavy because the sound is focused on her singing. If that’s what you want to call it.
