Joseph Edward Genewich (January 15, 1897 – December 21, 1985) was an American pitcher in Major League Baseball. He played for the Boston Braves and New York Giants from 1922 to 1930.[1] His key pitch was the slow curve.[2]
Genewich attended the Elmira Free Academy but was not allowed to play for its baseball team because he was the son of a Polish mill worker. Genewich went directly from sandlot ball to the Boston Braves without playing minor league baseball.[3]
Genewich served in the United States Navy and played baseball at Naval Station Great Lakes during World War I[3] and enlisted again in 1942 during World War II.[4]
