In 1990, Greene played collegiate summer baseball with the Wareham Gatemen of the Cape Cod Baseball League. [1]

Greene entered the MLB in 1996 with the New York Mets, playing for them one year before moving to the Baltimore Orioles (1997–98), Milwaukee Brewers (1999) and Toronto Blue Jays (2000). His most productive season came in 1999 with Milwaukee, when he appeared in a career-high 32 games and hit a .173 batting average.

In 55 games, Greene was a .173 hitter (13-for-75) with five runs and two RBI without home runs.

Following his MLB career, Greene has played in Triple-A for the Florida Marlins and Tampa Bay Devil Rays organizations.
