I don't recall the baseball team ever having a horse as a mascot but that doesn't mean they didn't. I usually say, "What Playoffs?" when sports is mentioned. I do know that a horse named Warpaint was the Chief's mascot for a number of years. Much (maybe all?) of that time Bob Johnson was his rider. In 2002 Bob was elected to the Missouri House of Representatives, District 47 (R). His legislative bio doesn't mention his equestrian "career" but a recent photo is online, and it's the same person that I knew 'way back when. Wiki to the rescue again - _http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warpaint_(horse_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warpaint_(horse) ) takes you to the article about the horse and says that Bob was his rider, but doesn't give any more information about Bob. I was thinking there were two Warpaints, and that is correct. No. 2 is buried at Benjamin Stables. Vanette
