Otis retires from Cardinals rather than ride bench
Jim Otis of the St. Louis Cardinals retires at 31 to avoid limited playing time. Coach Bud Wilkinson indicated Otis would see little action due to a talented backfield including Ottis Anderson, Thomas Lott, Wayne Morris, and Willard Harrell. Otis leaves as the Cardinals’ all time rushing leader with 1,076 yards in 1975 and career marks of 3,863 yards and 1,011 attempts. He plans to devote himself full time to his mortgage lending business.
