Baseball player Brendan Rodgers is hilariously confused for his namesake on Twitter

Brendan Rodgers was sacked as Liverpool manager following today's 1-1 draw against Everton.

The news sparked widespread reaction amongst Twitter users, and Brendan Rodgers was understandably trending on the social media site. Some Twitter users decided to contact Rodgers directly. However, the Northern Irishman isn't on Twitter, but Brendan Rodgers, a Colarado Rockies baseball player, is, and he was forced to clarify the situation. https://twitter.com/Broddddd3/status/650749526345576452 Which lead to some very funny replies. https://twitter.com/SteekieNolan/status/650752469019049984 https://twitter.com/Mark_Scully_ANZ/status/650753802891567104 https://twitter.com/sofianemv17/status/650754827715121152 https://twitter.com/Airmiles23/status/650758678518345730 https://twitter.com/______dontcare/status/650754184845914113 https://twitter.com/GarethBale22/status/650767316867764224 https://twitter.com/TheoneLiberator/status/650758275068243969 https://twitter.com/Sal_Greenwood/status/650767267333033984 https://twitter.com/07332105a269412/status/650764677509697536 https://twitter.com/lynchie002/status/650765348808093697 https://twitter.com/JackJDees/status/650764341973811200 https://twitter.com/Master_Mesut/status/650764014163787776 https://twitter.com/LiveClayton/status/650764260285530118
