Dave Marshall (#464) batted .232 with 2 HR and 33 RBI in 110 games. He and Ken Henderson split time in left field.

Jim Hart (#555) batted .254 with 3 HR and 26 RBI in 95 games. It was a huge drop-off from his previous seasons. Jim played for the Giants from 1963 until early in 1973 but he didn't have a big year after 1968.
