All SPB 1964 Managers,  Here is the report for the 1963 season on who was lost to the 50% rule.  Doing is a little different this year since very few players lost play this again this season, or in future years.  First I will list all players lost who will be added back into the rookie draft for 1964, or beyond.  Player name, main pos, team that lost the player, and year of return.

Julio Gotay ss,   Metro Stars (64)
