The character Coach, played by Nicholas Colasanto, was Sam Malone's pitching coach before they migrated over to the bar together. What was Coach's first name?

Coach was the nickname of Ernie Pantusso played by Nicholas Colasanto, who sadly passed away in 1985, only a few seasons into the run of Cheers. His last appearance was in an episode "Cheerio, Cheers". Of course, Coach was replaced by Woody, played by Woody Harrelson.
