Jack Kaiser

John Warren Kaiser (born October 6, 1926)[1] is Athletics Director Emeritus at St. John's University in Queens, NY. He 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.[2] Kaiser managed the short-season Class D Lexington Red Sox in 1957 and 1958.[3] Kaiser led the now-named St. John's Red Storm baseball team to eleven postseason appearances, including three trips to the College World Series (1960, 1966 and 1968) in his 18-year career as head coach. Kaiser then became athletic director at St. John's, and was instrumental in the establishment of the Big East Conference. [3][4]
