Nobody needs an Oscar Taveras storyline in the game. The real world is sad and full of enough **** so that I don't need that in my game. Career-ending injuries are well enough (and do the same job!) ...

However, that 1909 Pitcher of the Year still going strong on his 130th birthday is completely silly, non-sensical, and should have been changed years and years and years ago. Whenever a former player hits - say - 65, the clock starts ticking and every day is a tiny, tiny, tiny chance that slowly grows that he drops dead. Spawn news article for Hall of Famers, and whoever won a meaningful award. Done. It would even ADD to the game, by - decades later - invoking one last time the cherished memories of those that played the game in years and eras long gone.
