Midwest League 1963


Player Roster

Players who played for teams in the Midwest League in 1963. This list includes all players I can identify, coaching staff members, umpires, and selected front office staff. There are likely to be people missing from this list, as the available sources are known to be unreliable.

356 different players are listed on this page (41 of whom played in the majors), as are 40 non-playing personel; some are listed more than once.


  • Team Roster Limit: 19 players (25 for first and last 30 days of season).
  • Experience Rules: National Association Rule.
  • Salary Limit: National Association Rule.
  • League Statistician: Howe News Bureau.

While the information here is intended to be both complete and accurate, it's likely that there are omissions and the scale of the project guarantees errors; there's a lot of data here, from a variety of sources, all of which was originally in another format.

I will correct errors, or fill in missing birthdates and uniform numbers as I learn of them. Feel free to help; just drop me a line. Thanks.
