"Karl Olson was an outfielder who began to show a great deal of promise coming up through the ranks in the Red Sox farm system, until a stint in the military during the Korean War years seemed to derail his career. He nonetheless played parts of six seasons in the majors, largely in a backup role, but never caught fire the way many thought he might." - Author Bill Nowlin in The Baseball Biography Project (Karl Olson)
