Cake or gum? 1975 Amos Otis

These have been some tight battles - last time it was cake by a 6-4 score. Another KC Royal to decide on today.

Two very different photos here. Hostess has Otis behind the bleachers at spring training. There is a catcher (or at least someone on one knee) about to toss the ball behind him, and a rolling cart of bats is also visible. Meanwhile, Topps goes for a simple headshot but you get a very nice view of Royals Stadium behind him. I don't think there were many Royals Stadium shots on Topps cards of this era.

Amos Otis was one of the stars of the great Royals teams of the 1970s and early 1980s, though he retired before the team finally won the World Series in 1985. A four-time all-star and three-time Gold-Glover, he led the AL in doubles in 1970 and 1976 and steals in 1971. In 1,998 games (including a brief stint with Pittsburgh in 1984) he hit .277 with 374 2B, 66 3B, 193 HR, 1,007 RBI and 341 SB. After his playing career he was a long-time hitting coach, and is now retired.
