Baseball writer Dan Wade's Twitter icon is a polar bear in a sombrero.

Basketball player Dwyane Wade, now a Chicago Bull after 13 years with the Miami Heat, has the "Way of Wade" logo as an icon for his account @dwyanewade. But Dwyane's nickname is "DWade" and the moniker appears as his Twitter name.

Here's a sampling of some of the funny, bizarre and angry messages directed at poor Dan Wade who, at least, seemed to get a kick out of the case of mistaken identity.

@jonjones Yeah, we’re in for it tonight. Good luck, man!
