"Karl has been with 13 different clubs since 1939 when the Yankees signed him for their Butler team. The Yankees brought him up to the majors after Karl had compiled a 19-9 record with Newark in '45.
He was released to the Browns in '48, and after leading International League pitchers in complete games (21) in '51, Karl joined the Phillies. He was an important factor in the Dodger loss of the '51 pennant when he beat Don Newcombe with an 8-hitter in the last week of the season."
