MIKE'S MUSINGS
A note from the desk of CRCC President and CEO Mike Throne:

Somewhere John Wend - most likely behind a microphone - is smiling.

For 25 years, Wend was the booming public address voice of the Chillicothe Paints and dedicated himself to making sure that players, coaches, and fans had a great time while at V.A. Memorial Stadium. As the literal voice of the Paints and, arguably, its most recognizable icon, he often spoke of the joy of winning the 2010 Prospect League title, all the while hoping for one more run at the championship.

Unfortunately, Wend died in 2017, without experiencing a similar joy.

After losing what some people believed was their best player (catcher Dylan Shockley) to the majors, and starting out the oh-so-short season by losing seven of their first nine games, it didn't appear the Paints were on that track this season either.
