Feb. 27--If pitcher Aaron Brooks joins the Chicago Cubs at some point in the 2016 season, he's aware of whatever confusion awaits him.
But Brooks, who was acquired Thursday from the Oakland Athletics for outfielder Chris Coghlan, already has communicated with the Bulls' Aaron Brooks.
"I've (written to) him on Twitter before," said the Cubs' Brooks, who stands 6-foot-4 and grew up in Southern California. "Just because everyone thinks I'm him. They keep tagging me."
The Bulls' Brooks, 31, is a six-foot guard grew up in Seattle and starred at the University of Oregon.
The Cubs' Brooks added that people also confuse him with retired NFL quarterback Aaron Brooks, 39, who grew up in Virginia.
"I get a bunch of tags on Twitter from people," Brooks said. "All they have to do is look at the profile picture. It's not me."
When asked if he could shoot a basketball as well as the Bulls' guard, the Cubs' pitcher replied, "I highly doubt it."
