- The Giants didn't have a manager when this card was printed. Bill Rigney ended up coming back to manage the club. Rigney had previously managed the Giants from 1956-1960, the Angels from 1961-1969, and the Twins from 1970-1972. The Giants were really at a low during the mid-1970s -- they couldn't afford to keep their better players and there was always talk of moving the club to Toronto or Florida. The club would have a couple of good years (1978, 1982), but they didn't become a consistently good team again until the late 1980s.
