Even though Gronk’s days with the New England Patriots are behind him, he certainly left his mark.
On Wednesday, the Patriots posted a video to their official Twitter account depicting a big old dent in their brand new championship trophy, which was awarded to them after defeating the Los Angeles Rams this past February at Super Bowl LIII.

— Rob Gronkowski (@RobGronkowski) April 19, 2019Gronkowski used the trophy as a bat before appearing at the home opener for the Boston Red Sox last week to be recognized for the win.
“The first thing I remember is Julian (Edelman) like, ‘Hey, if I’m throwing out the first pitch, I need to get loose. I need to warm up,” said backup quarterback Brian Hoyer. Gronkowski took the 22-inch tall Super Bowl trophy and used it as a bat when Edelman threw the ball.
