Rob Gronkowski: Yankees fan who went viral played hockey at Arizona

TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — It was a less-than-exemplary play in what's known as the Fall Classic.

In the first inning of Game 4, Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts attempted to catch a foul ball near the right field stands. Yankees fan Austin Capobianco, with Betts' glove in the air, reached in and grabbed it free.

Capobianco and his friend, John Peter, were called for fan interference and escorted from the Yankee Stadium. The moment went viral.

This morning, on FanDuel's 'Up & Adams Show' on YouTube, there was a revelation from former University of Arizona star and four-time Super Bowl champion Rob Gronkowski.

"That guy, right here, grabbing Mookie Betts' glove, was my friend in college. He was on the Arizona ice hockey team. The whole hockey team were absolute maniacs."

And the hockey team (Ice Cats/club team) was full of lunatics. I remember parties where some of the players would be by far the most out of control.
Admittedly, I was out of control then also and it seemed fun, but in hindsight it was likely more disaster than anything.
