I posted this today for the blog I write for and I never really looked into this aspect of his time with the team. I went through all the newspapers online and looked at the reactions of people around the country and around baseball one the day the Pirates drafted him. I think the Pittsburgh reaction is real interesting as well the cities removed from the two teams involved(Pirates/Dodgers). People in Pittsburgh definitely call him the Great One, you will get "Wayne who" reactions there for sure
