Coach was an expert at being hit by a pitch. It's suggested that a few too many to the head led to his being slow and forgetful.

As a young man, Ernie dropped out of high school and joined the Navy. He played and then coached minor league baseball, ending up with Boston's farm team, the Pawtucket Red Sox. He moved on to the Majors as Boston's third base coach when Sam Malone was pitching, and Sam hired him as a bartender when he bought Cheers. He loved the job so much that he spent his days off working at the bar. Coach's wife Angela had passed away before the show took place, and his daughter Lisa appeared in one episode, played by Allyce Beasley (Moonlighting).
