Given the lag between the "close" of each TSN issue and the publication date, these moves were probably made around October 6 or 7. The Giants' regular season ended on October 1. None of these five players were on the Giants' active roster during 1978, sorry.

My information came from the the Giants' team notes on page 30. I agree that, given the time lag, it seems unlikely these gents were with the team during the year. And as to "sorry" - hey, it makes it better for me as now I don't have to worry about scrounging extra images!
Thanks one and all for the helpful discussion!
