Had enough of Rob Gronkowski yet? The folks at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt sure hope not because the Boston-based publisher just inked a deal for “Growing Up Gronk,” a book by and about the Gronkowski gang, including dad Gordie, mom Diane, and sons Gordie Jr., Dan, Chris, Rob, and Glenn (nicknamed Goose). The family has enlisted journalist Jeff Schober to help with the book, which will explain how one family could produce three NFL players, a professional baseball player, and another up-and-coming Division 1 college football player. Publication is planned for 2013.
