McGee opting outWillie McGee, in his third year as a Cardinals coach, is 61 years old, suffers from high blood pressure and has three older daughters and five grandchildren living with him in the family home at Martinez, Calif. Those, he said, were three good reasons for him to ask the Cardinals if he could go home for the rest of the season, and president of baseball operations John Mozeliak said he understood.

Re: Willie Opts Out
This sucks and I think that he may decide to stop coaching in general after this. Willie is 61 now and he probably doesn't need the money anymore. Probably time for him to kick back with the grandkids now.

We don't yet know how this virus affects goofy looking amazing guys. This is best, if painful.
