Many in baseball consider the scout to be the most important figure in any organization: It is the scout's work in the high school and college bleachers that unearths future legends. Few have achieved more--and in such grand style--than George Genovese.

In a game that values numbers, Genovese's are staggering. No other scout has been responsible for more players in a single lineup, more home runs by players signed or more All-Star and World Series highlights than Genovese.

Genovese's eye for talent is unmatched, his advocacy for the players he discovers is unrivaled, and the investment he makes toward their success is a difference maker. This autobiography is the story of his seven decades in baseball as a player, manager and scout.

Recenzijos

The saga of George Genovese gives us a long-waited insight into the most underappreciated and unpublicized segment of the baseball world.Bill Brown, Houston Astros television broadcaster; A wonderful read for everyone in the game and fans alike. If you love the game this book is a page turner. For someone who may think they know everything about scouting: read this book. Youll learn more.Dave Van Horne, Miami Marlins radio broadcaster; The stories are fascinating and further remind me that scouting is the lifeblood of baseball. This is a very enjoyable book to read.Jerry Howarth, Toronto Blue Jays radio broadcaster.
