Family, Players Honor Raymond Goffio in Annual Stickball Tournament in Coney Island

It was a perfect day to pay tribute to a fallen teammate.

The Third Annual Stickball Challenge was held at Deno’s Wonder Wheel Park on Saturday, Sept. 22, featuring a tournament pitting teams from Sheepshead Bay, South Brooklyn and Harlem against each other.

Though, the theme of the day was unity.

While the weather was perfect and the games were fun, the annual competition served as a remembrance for former teammate and Softball Hall of Famer Raymond Francis Goffio who died unexpectedly earlier this summer.
