“Norm” from Cheers passed away yesterday at the age of 76. Here’s his obit from The New York Times.

Wendt, who was born in Chicago, was a hard-core White Sox fan, even if he did throw out a first pitch first-pitch came in a Rays jersey.

May be an image of 1 person, playing baseball, bus and text that says 'SOX 351日 35 " WE COULD TAKE A BUS TO 35TH, AND WE'D BE AT SOX PARK. GEORGE WENDT ON GROWING UP IN BEVERLY, VIA CHICAGO TRIBUNE'

He got to play some ball in the 1986 movie, Gung Ho.
