George Genovese, a Giants scout for 31 years whose signings read like a Who's Who of franchise greats, including Bobby Bonds, George Foster, Jack Clark and Matt Williams, died Sunday in Burbank. He was 93.
Genovese's death was confirmed Monday by Dan Taylor, a longtime Fresno sportscaster and writer who collaborated with the scout on an autobiography that was published earlier this year.
According to Taylor, Genovese signed 250 players for the Giants, 44 of whom reached the majors. He was an area scout whose territory included Southern California, Nevada and Arizona.
