Louis Womack (also listed as Lewis Womack) went to high school in Miami, played for the 1941-1942 Salisbury Giants (with no decision either year) then joined the Eastern Air team. He was with Eastern Air when they served as Team USA for the 1942 Amateur World Series. While he had already played professionally, he was not the only pro in what was supposed to be an amateur event - Hawaii (not yet a US state) fielded a team in the 1940 Amateur World Series which included NPB veteran Herbert North while Mexican teams of this era routinely utilized Mexican League players. The problem kept up for decades - Team Canada ran into trouble in the 1967 Pan American Games for using four players with pro experience.
