Who Was Baseball's Most Interesting Character? Monte Ward | BaseballLibrary.com (2022 words) |
 | The ever-so competitive Ward had the playing style and hustle of a Pete Rose, the pitching ability of a Charles Old Hoss Radbourn, the leadership presence of a Willie Stargell, the fight of a Billy Martin, the brains of a Cobb and Tom Seaver, and the power of a Landis and Donald Fehr. |
| Ward and the rest of the players already were against the reserve clause, which he described as a contract, which on its face is for several months being binding for life. |
| As a matter of fact, Ward, who earlier served briefly as the president of the Boston Braves and ran for N.L. President in 1909, was hired as a business manager for the Federal League's Brooklyn Tip-Tops in their financial fight against Major League Baseball in 1915. |
