seventh-inning stretch
Baseball standing break
The seventh-inning stretch is a baseball tradition where spectators stand and move around between the top and bottom of the seventh inning.
The break typically includes singing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game." By extension, any midpoint break in a long activity: Let's take a seventh-inning stretch before the afternoon sessions.
