Carmen Louis Mauro (November 10, 1926 in St. Paul, Minnesota - December 19, 2003) was a professional baseball outfielder. He played all or part of four seasons in Major League Baseball between 1948 and 1953. Seventeen-year-old Mauro was signed as an amateur free agent by the Chicago Cubs before the 1944 season. The young outfielder was farmed out to the Lockport Cubs of the class D PONY League, where he appeared in 89 games and hit .294. Carmen spent his first five seasons in the minors, hitting over .300 twice - the first came in 1945 when he had a split season with the class B Hagerstown Owls and the Portsmouth Cubs, hitting .305 with 6 homers and the second came in 1947 when he hit .308 for the Des Moines Bruins of the class A Western League.
