Rob Gronkowski says he was college friends with Yankees fan who grabbed Mookie Betts' glove

The sports world is still buzzing about the Yankees fans who tried to pull off Mookie Betts' glove in Game 4 of the World Series, and it turns out there's an unusual connection. In a classic pairing of like-meets-like, one of those interfering Yankees fans is apparently college friends with none other than former NFL tight end Rob Gronkowski.

In an episode of "Up & Adams" with Kay Adams on Wednesday, Gronkowski said he knew one of the fans from his time at the University of Arizona. Gronkowski spent three years as a Wildcat before entering the NFL Draft in 2010.
