History: Grambling State baseball coach Ralph Waldo Emerson Jones, known as “Prez” to his many adoring players and students, is an iconic figure in Grambling history. The grandson of a slave and the son of the first dean at Southern University, Jones began at Grambling (once known as the Louisiana Normal School) in 1926 as a Chemistry and Physics professor. Having been a former player in the Negro Leagues, the powers that be chose Jones to launch the school baseball team the same year.
