Nicholas Colasanto often had trouble remembering his lines and would write them on surfaces on the set. He wrote his line "It's as if he's still with us now" on a slat by the stairs. After Colosanto's death, the cast would pat the spot where he wrote his line upon entering in remembrance of him. The stairs were eventually repainted and the line was painted over much to the dismay of the cast.
In this episode, there is a memorial service for Coach's former teammate T-Bone Scappagioni. He (T-Bone) is depicted in a life-size cardboard cut-out that Coach brings back from the funeral. The cut-out actually depicts Baseball Hall of Fame slugger Jimmie Foxx, with a mustache added.
