Professional baseball player Gerardo Parra of the Washington Nationals, having discovered the song through his young daughter, adopted it as his walk-up music to energize the flagging team on June 19, 2019. The theme became popular among both teammates and fans, who used the shark clap whenever the Nationals got a hit, and eventually, at every Parra at-bat; fans also began wearing shark costumes to the stadium. A stuffed baby shark was seen attached to the dugout railing during the 2019 National League Championship Series, which the Nationals won over the St. Louis Cardinals. The craze culminated with the Nationals defeating the Houston Astros in seven games to win the 2019 World Series; the connection was such that the Marine Band performed the song during the team's celebratory visit to the White House.

... which the Nationals won over the St. Louis Cardinals. During the 2019 World Series between the Washington Nationals and the Houston Astros, the song was the subject of a singing bet between the Choral Arts Society of Washington and the Houston Chamber Choir, with the condition that the Houston Chamber Choir would sing Baby Shark if the Washington Nationals won the World Series and the Choral Arts Society would sing Deep in the Heart of Texas vice versa.[1] After the Houston Astros lost the World Series in seven games, the Houston Chamber Choir honored its promise by singing Baby Shark in its rendition and posting the video on its YouTube official account.[2] The Choral Arts Society, though winning the bet, returned the honor by performing live on TV a mashup rendition of Baby Shark and Deep in the Heart of Texas.[3] The craze of Baby Shark among the Washington Nationals' fans culminated after the team's win; the connection was such that the Marine Band performed the song during the team's celebratory visit to the White House.
Other versions
ORIGINAL:
In September 2018, Ellen DeGeneres released her version of the song on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and James Corden performed a version on The Late Late Show with James Corden. The song was performed on The X Factor in early December 2018 because it was requested by Simon Cowell's four-year-old son Eric. Yvie Oddly, a Drag queen and contestant on RuPaul's Drag Race, adapted the song for live lip-syncing performances, including a choreography that draws inspiration from voguing.

There have been multiple singers sing their versions on The Late Late Show with James Corden. In 2018, James Corden invited Sophie Turner and Josh Groban to perform the song, with Corden singing the baby shark chorus, Turner singing mommy shark, and Groban singing daddy shark.[4][5] In 2019, in her Carpool Karaoke episode, Celine Dion sang the song briefly after being asked by Corden to do so dramatically.[6] Also on Carpool Karaoke, when asked if the members would sing rounds while they were bored, K-pop boyband BTS gave Baby Shark as an example and sang it on the spot, mixing the chorus with LMFAO's Shots.[7]
In February 2019, Bebe Rexha posted on her Twitter account (now X) a 40-second clip of her singing Baby Shark in an emotional manner.[8][9]
