While Lou Carnesecca never played basketball for St. John's varsity, he did play baseball for the legendary Frank McGuire, who coached both the baseball and basketball teams. Carnesecca was part of the 1949 St. John’s team that reached the College World Series. While still a student, Carnesecca filled in as coach of the freshman baseball team. (New York Post)
