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.
