Dr Jones, was President of the Excelsiors, took them on the first tour outside of New York area, was the first to recruit players and pay some, eg Creighton. He was important in working with Adams on the rules, was chairman of the rules committee and was the first President of the NAABBP. He was instrumental in finally getting the fly rule passed. He has zero chance but I have done research on him and found him interesting. I just threw it in.
