Charlie Firestone had a candle that burned hot and fast. After the two 35 win seasons (1915, 1916), he again led the league in wins in 1917 with 28. In 1918, he started the year with 15 victories and was traded in July to the Philadelphia Keystones, for whom he won another 5 games. He had a down year in 1919 for the Keystones (11-14, 4.29), and he was released prior to the 1920 season. He spent a few years bouncing around the minor leagues trying to get back, but never made it. He finished with a 210-103 record and a 2.25 ERA. He led the league in wins four times, strikeouts three times, and ERA twice.

Joe Ward led the club to another pennant in 1919 (.319/.380/.500, 27 3B, 83 Runs, 89 RBI) and to another world's championship in 1921 (.363/.418/.526, 227 Hits, 34 3B, 124 Runs, 95 RBI). He lost his starting job in the outfield in 1924 and was traded to the Chicago Cougars in August of 1925. Ward is Montreal's career leader in games (2449), hits (3114), runs (1464), doubles (379), triples (573), runs batted in (1198), and stolen bases (495). Ward's 573 career triples is the best in baseball history, 97 ahead of John Dibblee (476).

Hal Eason is the Montreal career leader in home runs (135). In 1922, Eason was on his hottest home run pace with 25 home runs through 87 games when he was traded to the Philadelphia Keystones. He's done well with the Keystones, hitting another 104 home runs. He is currently 2nd in home runs behind Max Morris (331) on the career leader board.

The Saints enter the 1926 season coming off of consecutive 3rd place finishes in the Continental Association (with records of 81-72 in 1924, and 81-73 in 1925).
