Gronk leaves his mark -- a dent in SB trophy

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - The New England Patriots' most recent Lombardi Trophy from Super Bowl LIII has a baseball-sized dent in it, courtesy of retired tight end Rob Gronkowski.

The team's official website posted video of the often-playful Gronkowski using the trophy as a bat before an on-field appearance at the Boston Red Sox home opener April 9.

No one actually thought he would actually follow through on using the trophy as a bat ... until he squared around to "bunt" a warmup pitch from Super Bowl MVP Julian Edelman.
