13: Amos Otis-MLB

In 1986, Amos Otis was inducted into the Kansas City Royals Hall of Fame. A three-time Gold Glove winner and five-time all-star, Amos Otis played for the Royals from 1970 through the 1983 season and is still top-3 in several all-time offensive categories for the Royals including: hits (3rd, 1977), HR (3rd, 193), runs (2nd, 1074), triples (3rd, 65) and RBI (3rd, 992). Acquired from the Mets for Joe Foy, Otis helped the Royals become one of the most consistent winners in the mid and late 1970s and led the Royals to their first World Series appearance in 1980. Bill Lamberty of the Society for American Baseball Research joins the podcast to talk more about this forgotten hero.
