BOSTON — Tom Brady's purloined Super Bowl jerseys are back in the hands of their rightful owner and at least one was held up for the cheering crowd at Fenway Monday.
Brady threw out the ceremonial first pitch at the Red Sox season opener against Pittsburgh Monday.
He walked onto the field wearing the stolen jersey worn in Super Bowl LI a little over a month ago. Then held it up for the crowd before Gronk snatched it and took off running. He was eventually tackled by Brady in the outfield.
Kraft quipped that the jerseys "took an international trip."
The New England Patriots tweeted a short video on Monday showing team owner Robert Kraft presenting his star quarterback with the jerseys at Kraft's home.
Brady's 2017 jersey went missing from the Patriots' locker room after the team's win over the Atlanta Falcons on Feb. 5.
Mexican authorities later found it while searching the property of Mexican media executive Martin Mauricio Ortega. They also recovered a Brady jersey that had disappeared after the 2015 Super Bowl.
Ortega hasn't been charged. Houston police and the FBI assisted in the investigation, and Kraft thanked them anew.
Brady grinned as he held the jerseys, saying: "Pretty cool. That's awesome."
