It’s a special day for Boston Red Sox fans — and people in Massachusetts overall.
As it happens every year, the Red Sox have their annual morning game during the Patriots’ Day holiday, and they had a fan favorite throwing the first pitch at Fenway Park.
New England Patriots legend Rob Gronkowski got the honor, and he definitely made the most of it.
In full Gronk fashion, he shocked the world with his hilarious antics, spiking the baseball on the mound instead of throwing it (via Ari Meirov).

Needless to say, his most recent “Gronk Spike” went viral in the blink of an eye, with people flooding social media with reactions to it.
GRONK can return to the NFL today and be a top 5 TE
EASILY

The fans at Fenway Park also cracked a big laugh after the legendary tight end’s shocking and hilarious decision.
Gronk is going to be quite busy, as he’s also going to be the Boston Marathon’s grand marshal.
The future Hall of Famer was always a fan favorite, and he’s been quite active with the community throughout the course of his entire career.
He helped the Patriots win three Super Bowls before coming back from retirement to win another ring alongside Tom Brady, with whom he created one of the deadliest and most dominant duos in NFL history, especially in the playoffs.
It had been a while since people in Boston last saw a Gronk Spike live, and while he’s been away from the game for quite a while, it seems like some things just come naturally and don’t need a lot of practice.
