In late 2011 after much discussion between Karl and his family, he decided to officially retire from professional baseball and found it useful to return his life as a stay at home husband. As of August 2012 he still occasionally finds himself back on the diamond but spends the bulk of his time playing in a women's field hockey league in which he is the only male athlete. On August 27, 2012 Karl scored his first ever goal in an exhibition game against the Clark's Summit Hawks all be it in the other teams net. On September 8, 2012 Karl was released from his women's field hockey league team citing irreconcilable differences. However he has remained in the organization as a scout.
