Wow, just posted in the memorabilia side because I was surprised to see a thread about him there(only saw it because it had the last comment when I was on the main page). Anywho, I'll post it here because I was curious about it so maybe somewhere else cares. Did you ever wonder what baseball thought about the Pirates taking him that day in the rule V draft? Whether it made a ripple in the news. If you follow baseball close, most of these picks barely get a mention today and most don't stick with their new team. Thought this info was cool, especially the New York Times headline about the draft and everyone outside of Brooklyn/Pittsburgh caring more about Mickey Grasso!
