The Boston Red Sox are hosting the Cleveland Guardians for the first of four games at Fenway Park on Monday, which is a holiday in Massachusetts.

Before the game, former New England Patriots tight end and future Hall of Famer Rob Gronkowski threw out the ceremonial first pitch. However, it wasn't much of a pitch, as he delivered his famous spike off the mound.

Gronkowski last threw out the first pitch for the Red Sox in 2019 which came during his first retirement.
