Amos Otis

Amos Joseph Otis
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 166 lbs.
Born: April 26, 1947 in Mobile, AL
Drafted: 5th round 1965 by the Boston Red Sox
Acquired: selected from the Red Sox in the Minor League Draft, November 1966
Departed: traded to the Kansas City Royals with Bob Johnson for Joe Foy, December 1969

 

Amos played for the 1969 World Champions for the first half of that season, but his fame came as an All-Star center fielder for the Kansas City Royals for over a decade. In fact, if Amos had posted the statistics with the Mets that he did with the Royals, he would have been known as one of New York's all-time greats! He is pictured here on a 1971 Topps Tattoos panel, and below on a Topps Supers card from the same year.
