Twins pitcher Phil Hughes is in a difficult position. People are confusing him with Australian cricketer Phillip Hughes, who died Thursday in Sydney.
The right-hander took to Twitter to ease the problem.
Hoping the new pic and bio clears up some of the cricketer Phil Hughes confusion. Sending players his way. Horrible news.
