This dream is pitch-perfect.
A red, white and blue-bleeding Long Island singer is on a mission to belt the national anthem across all 30 MLB ballparks — a feat no one has ever accomplished.
Ali Berke — who goes by the title as “Ali the Anthem Girl” — has so far sung at ten major stadiums, each time bringing a different kind of chin music to ravenous baseball fans.
“It’s pretty crazy to go and sing in front of 20- to 30,000 people at a time,” Berke told The Post in a phone interview Wednesday.
“All eyes are on you at that point. When you’re doing a show, it’s very easy for people to go to the bathroom, nod off but I think that when it’s the anthem, everybody’s just drawn to whoever’s singing it.
“It’s just like a surreal feeling . . . like an overwhelming feeling of joy.”
Berke will next sing the anthem at the Chicago Cub’s Tuesday game against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Wrigley Field.
The 23-year-old is then scheduled to knock out Angel Stadium and Nationals Park before September ends, bringing her total number of stadiums to 13 just one year after she set out on the ground-breaking goal.
The idea was ignited at the tail end of summer 2023 when Berke crooned the Francis Scott Key poem at the Red Sox’s Fenway Park.
“Me and my dad were just talking one day, thinking how cool would it be for someone to sing the anthem at all 30 Major League ballparks,” Berke recalled.
“We realized that nobody’s ever achieved that, so we were like, ‘Why don’t I try to be the first person to try and achieve that goal?’”
And so the pair set off. In one year, they visited Chase Field, Oakland Coliseum, Minute Maid Park, Marlins Park, Petco Park and Great American Ball Park.
Berke also had already claimed Camden Yards, Citizens Bank Park, American Family Field and Citi Field from before she set off on her jet-setting mission.
The Queens stadium was the very first she ever grabbed the mic for, setting foot on the field at just 16.
“Ever since that, we kind of just kept rolling with it. And I was fortunate enough to have a bunch of teams reach out to me to ask the same,” the Oceanside resident said.
With a closet full of jerseys and more than half the MLB stadiums still on her to-do list, Berke expects to accomplish her mission within the next two years.
When asked about her favorite stadium, however, Berke admitted it wasn’t one of the ballparks. Her performance at Madison Square Garden ahead of a Knicks game this April was the pinnacle of her ongoing tour.
“That’s kind of the ‘I made it’ kind of moment,” she said. “It was a huge bucket list item since I was a child, so to do that was super emotional. I’m very proud I got to do that, and very thankful.”
Audience members should never expect two identical performances out of Berke.
While some venues ask the singer to stick to the original rendition, she seizes every opportunity to add her own spice to the music.
Berke could even break a few personal records of her own while on her national ballpark tour, namely how long she can hold her favorite line: “Land of the free.”
“Six or seven seconds, which honestly sounds like nothing, but trust me, when you’re holding that note, it’s a pretty long time,” the songstress said.
When asked about her favorite part of performing the Star-Spangled Banner, Berke pointed to the precious moments before she even bellows the song’s iconic “Oh, say can you see.”
“The most exciting part of it all, I think, is initially walking out onto the field,” Berke said.
“It’s amazing to be honoring our country number one. And then also just having all eyes on you, having 20,000 people just looking at you.”
While an MLB stadium tour is in her sights, Berke’s ultimate dream is to be more than “Ali the Anthem Girl.”
The Long Islander is a recording artist with several pop singles of her own under her belt.
Berke has already been the star of her own show. She took a quick break from storming the stadiums earlier this summer to perform some of her own original music at the Jones Beach Bandshell.
Contemplating watching Berke stride toward her dream, her dad, Jack Berke, borrowed the same word his songstress daughter used to describe performing: “surreal.”
“There is no feeling in the world, I am proud of my daughter every single heartbeat of the day,” Jack Berke said.
“I couldn’t be any prouder. And it really is a surreal moment for me, when I’m standing there watching her, and I’m probably more nervous than she is. She just goes out there, does her thing.
“You can’t replace the feeling. I couldn’t even tell you how proud and how fulfilling I am to see her doing what she loves to do.”
The singer hopes to one day return to the stadiums she once crooned the national anthem for sold-out concerts of her own — especially if one could take her back to her beloved Madison Square Garden.
“Music has helped me through the hardest times of my life, so the same way that music has helped me, I hope to help other,” Berke said.
“I write things off of my own life and stories and life lessons, all that stuff, so I just hope that my music can help somebody else.”
