Gronkowski will throw-out the ceremonial first-pitch prior to the game. He will also host an autograph session in the Portland Room located at Hadlock Field from 5:30 to 6:45 PM. Gronkowski will sign free autographs on photos provided by the Portland Sea Dogs.
Gronkowski was drafted by the Patriots in the second round (42nd overall) of the 2010 NFL draft. In his first season in New England, he set team records for most touchdown catches by a tight end (10) and most touchdown catches by a rookie (10). His ten touchdowns in his first season puts him second all-time among NFL tight ends behind only Mike Ditka, who caught 12 touchdowns his first year in the league. The 21 year-old became just the fourth player in Patriots history to finish the year with double-digit touchdowns, joining Randy Moss (3 times), Stanley Morgan (twice), and Jim Colclough.Tickets for the April 12th matchup, as well as the rest of the 2011 season, are now on sale and can be purchased by calling the Sea Dogs Ticket Office at 207-879-9500 or you can order online at www.seadogs.com. Portland will open the season at home on Thursday, April 7th at 6:00 PM against the Reading Phillies.
