John Henry, a reporter for KSDK in St. Louis, was the object of mistaken identity when Twitter confused him with John Henry, owner of the Boston Red Sox and Liverpool Football Club. The big question for the Missouri reporter: is Liverpool any closer to signing footballer Marco Reus?

Indeed.
To everyone out there who jokingly, or seriously, thinks I owns Liverpool FC, know this… I wish I did. I wish I did…

I'm learning so much about football right now. I'm not sure what Reus looks like, but apparently, he's important.

@paulleafs man, I've called Reus like 20 times, but no one ever picks up…

Last note on this odd course of events. Looks like I'll support #Liverpool now. This has been fun. Haha.
