John McClain, the legendary sports reporter for the Houston Chronicle, announced his retirement from the profession Thursday. It was his last day on the job after 47 years at the publication in addition to his four years at the Waco Tribune-Herald during his college years at Baylor.
"I always knew that someday I’d be writing a column on my retirement from the Chronicle, and that day is finally here," he wrote.
The Oilers, Texans and Aeros are among the teams McClain covered during his career. Even after retirement, he plans to continue his weekly radio shows on Sports Radio 610, Outkick 360 (Nashville), KNML Sports Talk (Knoxville), KENS the Blitz (San Antonio), Sic ’Em Sports (Waco) and KRLV RaiderNation 920 (Las Vegas).
