Here's a neat little feature. LINK

Enter in your birthday and year and you will learn who was the first player younger than you to enter the major leagues. And if you are older than Bartolo Colon, you will also learn the last player to play who was older than your current age.

The first guy to make it to MLB who was younger than me is a legend, Felix Hernandez.

There are way too many guys who are older than me who are playing right now. Bartolo Colon is the oldest at 45. I assume he will be the answer to a lot of posters who try out this feature.

I’ll always remember starlin Castro being the first player born in the 90s to make it. With that said, Bryce Harper

Starlin Castro.

Figured I might know the player because of some of the guys I got a chance to play with. I saw him around but never really talked to him.

I am not older than Bartolo Colon, but I'd bet there are less than 10 guys in MLB older than me now.

First player younger than you
Miguel Garcia was the first player to debut who was younger than you. He was born on 4/2/1967 and he made his debut on 4/29/1987, so he was 20!

Last player older than you
Jamie Moyer was the last player older than you to play in the majors. He was born on 11/17/1962 and last played on 5/26/2012, so he was 49. Sorry, pal, it's not gonna happen for you.
