Tom Brady gives props to Rob Gronkowski over bizarre first pitch at Red Sox game

Rob Gronkowski did the iconic Gronk spike and hurled the ball on the mound, a move that attracted cheers from fans. Unfortunately, for fans, there was not much celebrating after as the Red Sox lost 6-0 to the Cleveland Guardians. Considering his unorthodox personality, it was not surprising to see the tight end throw the pitch in his own unique style.

Tom Brady gave props to his best friend by commenting “Love seeing that Gronk Spike!!!!” Of course, the move would bring happiness to Brady as the spike signifies a successful touchdown and winning, to him.

Rob Gronkowski has done the same on previous instances in iconic sports events in Boston

The tight end did a similar celebration at the Boston Marathon when he similarly spiked the ball. His pitch will go down alongside Simone Biles’ unforgettable cartwheel and flip before throwing the ball as one of the more unique ways to throw a pitch.

The Gronk spike continues to live on despite it’s creator having retired from the game. It has become synonymous with his game, the first image that comes to mind of fans when they hear the name Gronkowski is usually him spiking the football. The celebration has now become the go-to method of celebrating for tight ends across the NFL.

Rob Gronkowski has been gradually entering the world of broadcasting, he has made appearances on several sports talk shows and actively engages with fans through social media. He is enjoying life after football, it is good to see the tight end have fun in this new chapter of his life!
