John W. "Jack" Kaiser was an American baseball player, college coach, and administrator. As a player, he helped St. John's to the 1949 College World Series. After a brief minor league career, he became head coach at St. John's and led the now-named St. John's Red Storm baseball team to eleven postseason appearances, including three trips to the College World Series in his 18-year career as head coach. He then became athletic director at St. John's, and was instrumental in the establishment of the Big East Conference. He was inducted into the ABCA Hall of Fame in 1979, and the Big East Conference Baseball Tournament Most Outstanding Player Award is named in his honor. Jack Kaiser Stadium, home baseball field of the Red Storm, is also named in his honor.[1][2][3][4][5]
