Tom Brady brought his Super Bowl LI jersey to the Red Sox Opening Day game. Then Gronk stole it.
It wouldn’t be the first time Tom Brady had his jersey stolen.
In an unexpected Opening Day appearance Monday, Brady brought his game-worn Super Bowl LI jersey onto the field at Fenway Park during the pregame first pitch ceremonies. The Patriots quarterback, several teammates, and owner Robert Kraft showed the team’s five Super Bowl trophies, as well as Brady’s recently recovered jersey.
But wait. Tom, look out — it’s Gronk!

As Brady held up the jersey to the cheers of Red Sox fans, Patriots tight end and general troublemaker snuck up behind him and made off with the already-once-stolen jersey — forcing the 39-year-old quarterback to chase down and tackle his teammate.

Apparently, Gronkowski is still riled up from his appearance Sunday at WrestleMania. A few hours later, the tight end posted a photo of Brady’s tackle and jokingly commented, “Don’t be jealous ladies! #SpooningWithBrady.”

The shenanigans Monday also produced a bunch of very fun still shots, via the photographers at Fenway Park:
Brady would go on to throw Monday’s first pitch. The 2017 Red Sox season is off to a very Boston start.
