Ernesto Carlos (born May 10, 1948), born as Lee Won-kuk or Lee Won-guk (Korean: 이원국) and known in Japan as Pou Cho (菊茶), is a South Korea-born Mexican professional baseball player. Carlos is probably the first Korean player to be signed by a Major League Baseball franchise, and almost certainly the first person to play professional baseball in Japan, the United States, Mexico, and Korea, with the bulk of his career spent in the Mexican League. (He is a candidate for the Mexican Professional Baseball Hall of Fame.) He is also known as Ernesto Carlos Kuk Lee and Won Lee and Genkoku Lee and Wong Kuk Lee.
