About

Former professional baseball player whose successful 13-season career in Major League Baseball (MLB) included time as a midfielder for teams such as the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Arizona Diamondbacks, the New York Yankees, and the Chicago Cubs. He was particularly renowned for his agility, dexterous ability to steal bases, and the substantial contribution his critical hits in the 2001 playoffs made toward the Diamondbacks' World Series victory.

He played baseball and basketball while attending Gretna High School. He later went on to attend Guilford College in Greensboro, North Carolina, which famously does not offer athletic scholarships. He initially had no intention of pursuing an athletic career. He merely wished to continue his education. However, his momentum quickly attracted the attention of major league scouts. After he hit a .350 RBI during his junior year, he was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates.

In addition to baseball, he also played football for one year during his college attendance. He ended up ranking #5 in NCAA Division III for kickoff returns. With a total of 182, he broke the Arizona Diamondbacks' record for the most career stolen bases.

He and his wife Janet have a daughter named Jessica and a son named Alsander. Alsander Womack has also started a career in professional baseball and has played for teams such as the Birmingham Barons and the Chicago White Sox.

With a game-tying one-out hit against pitcher Mariano Rivera of the New York Yankees, he famously set up teammate Luis Gonzalez's heralded game-winning single in the 2001 World Series. The Wall Street Journal referred to Womack's hit as the most significant clutch hit in baseball history.
