Free agent pitcher Phil Hughes, who was designated for assignment by the Padres, shared his most unpopular opinion after asking his Twitter followers for theirs. His most unpopular opinion was that both Wrigley Field and Fenway Park suck.
Ok here’s mine. You ready? Beyond the history, Wrigley and Fenway suck https://t.co/5lNGBBJdDo

It turned out some did find his opinion unpopular, including some notable names.

Phil!!! You just went from 30 to 28 potential employers for a broadcasting career once your playing days are over.

Phil I would lay low since well the Padres just canned you

You’re 3-6 with a 5.98 ERA at Fenway in your career. No wonder you hate it.

So does your ERA, WHIP, and WAR ?

I’d like to apologize for this tweet. I thought it would be an unpopular opinion but it turns out 90% of people agree with me. I’m sorry

Phil Hughes with over 100k followers and a ton of free time on his hands has the potential to be very entertaining. As far as the take, it’s not a terrible one.
