Alex Cooper, the popular podcast host of Call Her Daddy, recently threw out the first pitch at a Red Sox game, sparking renewed interest in a long-standing mystery: who is the “Red Sox Man” she claims to have dated? Cooper, a former Boston University soccer player, alleges she had a fling with an unnamed Red Sox player after the team’s 2013 World Series victory. This article dives into the details of Cooper’s claims and explores the leading theories surrounding the identity of her mystery man.
Alex Cooper’s Claim to Fame and the Infamous ‘Red Sox Man’ Story
Cooper’s story goes back to her college years. As a sophomore at Boston University, she reportedly met and began a relationship with a player from the 2013 World Series-winning Red Sox team. The relationship, described by Cooper as a whirlwind romance, apparently involved sleepovers and passionate encounters before ultimately ending after the player was traded in 2015.
While Cooper has openly discussed the relationship on her podcast, she has remained tight-lipped about the player’s identity, referring to him only as “Red Sox Man.” This secrecy has fueled intense speculation and online sleuthing amongst her fans, known as the “Daddy Gang,” and baseball enthusiasts alike.
The Internet’s Top Suspect: Mike Napoli
The most prevalent theory points to former Red Sox first baseman Mike Napoli. Napoli was a key player on the 2013 championship team, known for his powerful hitting and iconic beard. He was traded in 2015, aligning with the timeline of Cooper’s story. Furthermore, his substantial salary during those years and his larger-than-life personality fit the limited details Cooper has revealed.

Online forums and social media are filled with “evidence” supporting the Napoli theory, with fans citing his beard, salary, and trade year as key indicators. While circumstantial, these details have convinced many that Napoli is the elusive “Red Sox Man.” Cooper, however, has neither confirmed nor denied these speculations, leaving the mystery unsolved.
The Mystery Remains: Will ‘Red Sox Man’ Ever Be Revealed?
Despite the overwhelming online consensus pointing towards Mike Napoli, the true identity of “Red Sox Man” remains a secret known only to Alex Cooper. Whether she will ever choose to reveal his name is unknown. For now, the mystery continues to captivate listeners and baseball fans, adding another layer of intrigue to Cooper’s already fascinating story.
While the “Red Sox Man” mystery endures, one thing is certain: Alex Cooper’s return to Fenway Park, standing ovation and all, cemented her status as a pop culture icon with a captivating story to tell.
