In May 2011, Olerud sat down with me for a feature in the Winter 2011 edition of Washington State Magazine. The story focuses on Olerud's recovery from a brain aneurysm while at WSU, his faith, and how he applied that faith to a medical challenge with his daughter Jordan, who was born with a chromosome disorder.
Many more topics were discussed during the interview, including memories of playing for legendary coach Bobo Brayton, flirting with .400 with the Toronto Blue Jays during the 1993 season, and the Seattle Mariners' historic 2001 campaign.
