Career:  Lumpy, a wheat and sheep farmer from the northern part of Simsbury, started playing base ball when he was 7 years old.  Lumpy loved playing catch with his older brother.  He used to bring a bag of base balls up to the field in the north and toss fly balls with his brother all day long.  Every once in a while, Lumpy would miss catching the ball and it would land square on one of his sheep’s head.  Old man Olson, Lumpy’s dad, never could understand why the sheep sometimes had lumps on their head.  Then one afternoon he saw one of the sheep get hit in the head by a ball Lumpy dropped.  It was from that point on that Charles Olson would be known to his dad and friends as “Lumpy”.
