Farewell, George Genovese

Longtime baseball scout George Genovese passed away on Sunday at age 93. He worked with the Dodgers since 1995, including as a part-time scout in recent years.

A native of Staten Island in New York, Genovese was a middle infielder as a player, and had a sip of coffee in the major leagues in 1950, appearing in three games for the Washington Senators, twice as a pinch hitter and once as a pinch runner.

He walked in his first plate appearance, grounded out to second base in his second plate appearance, then scored as a pinch runner in his third game.
