NFL legend Rob Gronkowski may have announced his retirement during this year’s offseason, but that didn’t stop him leaving one-last indelible mark on the New England Patriots legacy.
Famed for his off-field antics, and true to Gronk form, the Pats tight end managed to damage New England’s latest Lombardi trophy while trying to use it as a baseball bat.
The 29-year-old was one among a number of the team’s players invited to attend the Red Sox’s Opening Day rituals at Fenway Park last Tuesday, where they honored the field and tossed a ceremonial pitch ahead of the season’s first home game.
New England’s players also showed off their latest Super Bowl trophy to the crowd, having secured victory over the Los Angeles Rams in February.

Laughing after making contact, a huge circular dent can be seen on the base of the football mount of the trophy
