Here’s a little fun fact… That guy right there grabbing Mookie Betts’ glove was my friend in college,” Gronkowski told host Kay Adams while pointing to footage of Capobianco, 38, and his friend, John Peter, who was also involved in the incident.
“He was on the ice hockey team, the club Arizona Wildcats ice hockey team. And let me tell ya, the whole hockey team were absolute maniacs. They were indescribable just how wild these guys were… animals.
Him doing that represents him very well. I mean, he is all in for his teams. He is all in for the Yankees. I remember him talking about the Yankees all of the time, about how he loves them so much. And that describes him perfectly, just doing whatever it takes to help his team out.”
A laughing Gronkowski added, “I just wanna say congratulations for shining when your moment came.”
