[edit] Biography

Monte Ward (John Montgomery Ward) was born on March 3, 1860 in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania. He made his Major League debut on July 15, 1878 for the Providence Grays. In 1878, his rookie year, he hit .196 with 1 home run and 15 RBI. Ward played for the Providence Grays, New York Gothams, New York Giants, Brooklyn Wonders and Brooklyn Bridegrooms over the course of his 17 year career.

There is some disagreement on what was Monte Ward's most productive season. Some believe that it was 1893, when he stole 46 bases, hit for a .328 average and knocked in 77 runs. However, others believe that it was 1887, when he stole 111 bases, hit for a .338 average and knocked in 53 runs.
