- Rico played in 123 games as a designated hitter and two games at first base.
- Carty clashed with Cleveland manager Frank Robinson. He was fined and sent home in early June. The team wanted to suspend Rico, but since he was already on the disabled list with a pulled hamstring they couldn't do it.
