In February 17’s emotion- filled season opener, the Cuero Gobbler baseball team hosted Dickie Goebel Night, a special event designed to honor the unforgettable legacy of Dickie Goebel, the loved 'voice of the Gobbler Baseball team.' Legendary for his commentary and deep love for the game, Goebel's contributions to Cuero baseball will never be forgotten.
With Mr. Goebel’s family on hand, Rhonda, Dickie’s wife, took to the mound to throw the ceremonial first pitch, drawing a standing ovation from the crowd. Dickie Goebel exemplified the heart that makes Gobbler baseball so beloved in the community.
In true rivalry tradition the Gobbler vs. Yoakum Bulldog game did not disappoint. The Cuero Gobblers, however, took care of business in their home opener as they edged the Yoakum Bulldogs in eight innings for a final score of 2-1.
