I realize that Ward is commonly known as "Monte" Ward to modern baseball fans. But Ward and his team simply never used the nickname, nor was it common in the press during Wards lifetime.
Because of that I thought that it was just not appropriate to have someone type in John Montgomery Ward and redirected to a nickname he never used.
This is why I redirected the redirect.

This entry states that Ward attended Penn State "for a short time." I know it's an old book, but Seymour's Baseball: THe Golden Years states that Ward graduated from Penn. State. Does anyone know which statement is correct?
Also, this entry has no mention that Ward was the cousin of Aaron Montgomery Ward, the founder of the mail order store. Is there truth to that connection? Thanks, Ernie. Ernie Scribner ( talk) 22:11, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
I removed this clause from the lead and replaced it with his forming the players union, from the body of the article. Certainly he challenged the reserve clause. Successfully when? -- P64 ( talk) 06:55, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
The definitive biography of Ward is "A Clever Base-Ballist." It devotes several pages to his nickname. It has an entire chapter on his entering and career at Penn State. The book, whose author is Bryan Di Salvatore, is out of print, but easily, and cheaply, accessible via internet sources. There is another biography, by David Stephens (Stevens?) "A Man For All Seasons" I believe. It is much thinner and contains inaccuracies. "Base-Ballist" may well, too, but, speaking as its author, I have only had a couple of people contact me with quibbles, both of them minor, one a mispelling, the other a wrong name. I don't mean to toot my own horn here. All I care about is setting the record straight. User: Buckdime Buckdime ( talk) 17:53, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
