Über den Autor

George Genovese is regarded by peers as the greatest baseball scout of all time. His playing career spanned 16 seasons and included a stint in the major leagues with the 1950 Washington Senators. Following 11 seasons as a minor-league manager, Mr. Genovese developed a level of proficiency many believe will never be duplicated. His profession's highest honor, the lifetime achievement award bestowed by the Professional Baseball Scouts Foundation bears his name. He lives in North Hollywood, California, USA. Dan Taylor is a former award-winning television sportscaster. The origins of his announcing work stretch back to summer involvement with minor-league baseball. While working for the San Francisco Giants' farm club in Fresno, he came to know many players signed by George Genovese and developed an appreciation for the unique skills and character of the celebrated scout. He lives in Fresno, California, USA.
