An “A” for effort? Illinois native Denise Richards- looking fantastic in a Chicago Cubs team jersey- stopped by Wrigley Field on Friday to sing Take Me Out to the Ballgame during the seventh inning stretch. Unfortunately, the actress was caught on national television reading the words to the famous jingle off of a cheat sheet!

Sounding a little flat, Richards herself admitted her performance confirmed that she was not a singing sensation. “That I am not,” she told a broadcaster. “I was about to have a heart attack. It was scary.”
