This article contains a list of the oldest living Major League Baseball player among those currently living and a list of the individuals who, at the time of their deaths, were the oldest living since the start of professional league play in 1871. Of those living, the oldest living actually is Art Schallock.
Oldest Players (historic)
Bill Lennon was the oldest player in baseball on his team's Opening Day of the National Association, the first major league on professional baseball, and Harry Wright became the oldest player when his team played its first game the following day. Wright remained the oldest player until Nate Berkenstock played in the last game of the season, his only appearance in a professional game. Berkenstock remained the oldest to have played until he died, which has been the pattern since then.
