"I think this guy (Amos Otis) has great pride. He has learned how to play the game. He has matured in his approach to baseball and to life. I have great rapport with the guy. The only trouble is that people don't know him. I think he is a super individual." - Kansas City Royals Manager Jack McKeon in Baseball Digest (July 1975, Joe McGuff)
