Karl has been in baseball since 1939, and he had his best major league season last year with the Phils. He appeared in 33 games, pitching 15 complete games. He won 14 games, and lost 15. However, his earned run average of 2.71, always the true test of a pitcher's effectiveness, was the fifth lowest in the league. He first hit the majors with the Yanks briefly at the start of the 1946 season.
A flier during the war, Phil was shot down over Germany and listed as missing in action for many months. At the end of the war he was found alive, a prisoner in a German prison camp. With the A's since the end of the 1940 season, he had his best year in 1947 when he won 19 games while losing only 9. Last season his record read 9 and 15.
