Since 1876, approximately 16,000 young men have enjoyed at least a taste of glory by appearing in big league games. By the end of the 2009 season fewer than three thousand individuals had had the good fortune to be a major league regular for five or more seasons. 197 men played in their last big league contest at the age of 30 or younger. This provides information on these 197 men.
