The native and lifelong resident of Chicago, Illinois, was the younger brother of Ossie Bluege, who had a lengthy career as a third baseman, coach, manager and front-office executive with the Washington Senators/Minnesota Twins.

In 109 games played in the majors, he compiled a .213 batting average in 291 at-bats, with 18 runs batted in. His 62 big-league hits included six doubles and two triples.

After retiring from the field, he scouted for the Senators and Twins. Otto Bluege died in Chicago at the age of 67.
