James McLean (mobster)
James Joseph "Buddy" McLean (January 26, 1930 – October 31, 1965) was an Irish-American mobster and the original boss of the Somerville, Massachusetts-based "Winter Hill Gang" during the 1960s. McLean was well known throughout the Greater Boston area as an unstoppable street fighter. He accumulated injuries including several scars on his neck and face as well as a damaged left eye. A friend of Buddy once said, "''He looks like a choir boy, but fights like the devil''".〔English, T.J. ''Paddy Whacked: The Untold Story of the Irish American Gangster''.

==Early life==
James McLean was orphaned at a young age and adopted by an immigrant Portuguese-American family in Somerville, Massachusetts. Working as a longshoreman during his teenage years on the docks of Charlestown and East Boston, he would become close friends with future president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 25,William J. McCarthy. His best friend however, was Joseph Maurice "Joe Mac" McDonald, a very tough and feared Somerville man who was the first to organize crime on Winter Hill.
McLean began to slowly amass a formidable criminal organization due to the admiration of his ability to fight along with a strong sense of street smarts. He would eventually dominate the local underworld in northern Boston which included running numbers, loansharking and truck hijackings.〔English, T.J.
