Chicago ? Darren Baker is more than just a cute bat boy. He can sing, too.

The 4-year-old son of Chicago Cubs manager Dusty Baker sang “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” at Sunday’s game against Colorado, drawing loud cheers from a standing crowd.

“Hi, everybody!” he said while his dad watched from the dugout.

Darren sang at the Cubs’ convention this winter, and team officials asked if he’d do it again Sunday as part of “Dusty Baker Beanie Baby Day.”

And Darren fared much better than some of the adults who have been guest conductors during the seventh-inning stretch. Wearing a Cubs cap and a red sweatshirt, he said he wasn’t nervous at all. He said he had been practicing “a long, long time,” and he knew all the words to the song.

His mom, Melissa, held him as he stood on a countertop so fans could see him, and she sang along with the rest of the fans. Dad was singing, too, and he waved to Darren in the pressbox when his son finished.

“That was a lot of fun,” Darren said. “That was pretty cool.”

He’s become a celebrity of sorts since the World Series, when he was a bat boy for Dad’s previous employer, the San Francisco Giants. Even non-baseball fans fell in love with him as he scurried to pick up players’ bats, wobbling as he struggled to get them back to the dugout.

And fans all over the country gasped when he was nearly run over at home plate in Game 5 trying to grab the bat of his favorite player, Kenny Lofton. San Francisco first baseman J.T. Snow scored, then scooped up the boy before David Bell came charging across the plate.

Baseball has since adopted a minimum age of 14 for bat boys, so Darren isn’t in the dugout with his dad this year. But he’s still a big baseball fan. He has his first T-ball practice Friday — His team? Cubs, of course — and he plays at home.

“From the time he gets up in the morning until the time he goes to bed,” Dusty Baker said. “Pitching, hitting. He knows everybody’s stance. He knows their windups.”

He likes to give his dad some advice, too.

“He says, ‘Mom, tell Dad to get Joe Borowski up,”‘ the elder Baker said, laughing. “Whoever’s throwing, he wants me to bring in Joe Borowski. He would pitch every day if it was up to my son.”
