Mets Land Foy to Play 3d, Send Otis, Johnson to KC
New York Daily News, December 4, 1969
One of the Mets earliest regrettable trades was the one that sent Amos Otis to the Royals for Joe Foy. Otis would go on to play 14 seasons in Kansas City, winning three Gold Gloves and making five All-Star teams. Foy was... less successful.
