RIP Isaac Hayes
Sad. Love that show and loved him as Chef.
Bernie Mac also passed away.
I'll never forget in 2003, FOX wanted Bernie to sing the 7th inning stretch at game 6 of the NLCS to promote his new show and because he was from Chicago. Cubs fans hated this as Bernie Mac is a well known Sox fan.
It only got worse when Mac declared, "it's root, root, root for the CHAMPIONS!" during the stretch. An inning later the Marlins put an 8 spot on the board and Steve Bartman became a legend.
Rest in peace Mr. 3000 2999.
