Rob Gronkowski brought his patented move when he threw out the first pitch ahead of the Red Sox' Patriots' Day game against the Guardians.
Many ceremonial first pitches from non-baseball celebrities have wound up in the grass or the dirt over the years, but those are usually unintentional. Rob Groknowski's first pitch intentionally landed well short of the plate. The New England Patriots legend and current NFL on FOX analyst brought out his patented 'Gronk Spike' when he threw out the first pitch ahead of Monday's Cleveland Guardians-Boston Red Sox game at Fenway Park.
When the Red Sox honored the Patriots after they won their sixth Super Bowl title in 2019, Gronkowski used the Lombardi Trophy as a baseball bat ahead of partaking in the pregame ceremonies at Fenway Park. Gronkowski opted to drop a bunt when Julian Edelman threw him a pitch, which left a dent in the Lombardi Trophy. Gronkowski and Edelman then recreated the moment in the FOX Sports studios last fall after the two were reunited as teammates at NFL on FOX.
