List of oldest MLB players

 * Delete This article doesn't seem to have a point. I say delete because what relevancy does listing players who are more than 45 years old when they played? Why not 50 years old? Why not 40 years old? Why not 46 years old? I don't see the value in such an article. What Wikipedia is not section 1.7 seems to agree with me. Masterhatch 08:53, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep. Interesting from a statistics/records viewpoint, although I'm not so sure on the criteria for inclusion. -- howcheng  [ talk &#149; contribs &#149; web ] 17:03, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, playing most major professional sports (golf is an exception but it's one of the few) into your late forties at the highest level is an exceptional accomplishment. I think it's marginally notable enough to get into Wikipedia. Marginally. Lord Bob 17:44, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep 45 seems a reasonable place to put it. 50 would cut the list down to just 5 names.  In any case, a decent and useful list.  Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd  22:44, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
