Rob Gronkowski of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is one of the greatest tight ends to ever play the game of football. While he spent last year in Tampa Bay -- and won a Super Bowl -- he hasnât forgotten the city of Boston, where he played many seasons with the New England Patriots and had great success.
Last week, Rob -- whose nickname is âGronkâ -- showed up in Boston with a check for $1.2 million and delivered that check to Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker ... so that the Charlesbank Playground would be renovated.
Governor Baker called Gronk âa big man with a big heart.â
And thanks to Gronkâs generosity, thousands of children will continue to enjoy the playground and appreciate the special connection this âbig manâ has with the community
