Jack Kaiser Stadium

Jack Kaiser Stadium

Formerly The Ballpark at St. John's, the St. John's baseball team's home venue was renamed Jack Kaiser Stadium in January 2007 and officially dedicated on May 5, 2007. Named after Hall of Fame head coach John W. "Jack" Kaiser, the stadium was originally constructed in the spring of 2000 on the site of the former McCallen Field. The facility has seating for 3,500 spectators, an electronic scoreboard in centerfield, a press box, lighting and public address system.

"We have really enjoyed playing in our home field the last six years," St. John's head coach Ed Blankmeyer said. "It helps because it makes our guys want to go to the ballpark. The playing surface puts us in the top three in the league, and the facility is one of the best in this region."

Kaiser has been part of the St. John's athletics family for nearly 60 years, first as a baseball, basketball and soccer player in the late 1940's, then as a coach from 1952-1973, the Director of Athletics from 1973-1995 and currently Athletic Director Emeritus. Throughout his career at St. John's, Kaiser has been one of the baseball program's biggest supporters. He led teams to the College World Series as both a player and a coach, then went on to provide department-wide leadership as the Director of Athletics for 23 years.

An American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) and Atlantic Collegiate Baseball League (ACBL) Hall of Famer, Kaiser remains involved with both the St. John's program and the ACBL, a sanctioned summer league that he co-founded. Kaiser also co-founded the BIG EAST Conference in his role as Athletic Director at St. John's, and the league has commemorated Kaiser's achievements for the last 22 years as the namesake for the conference baseball tournament's Most Outstanding Player award.
