After 12 seasons, McGee retired, refocusing his energy on Chi-Chi's, the Mexican-restaurant chain he co-founded, which operated throughout the U.S. until 2004.

...ghost in Harvard’s attic, Yale is making unfamiliar threatening noises, creaking the floorboards and moaning something that sounds a little like “McLeooooood.” The Crimson isn’t going to confront the specter until it has to, at the Yale Bowl...
