Heh. At my age, I am more interested in where I would place on this list:
Living Members of the Baseball Hall of Fame
Which keeps shrinking due to this:
Recent Deaths
Rickey Henderson
Orlando Cepeda
Willie Mays
But new life is added nearly every year, too! Thus, Dave Parker, CC Sabathia, Ichiro Suzuki, and Billy Wagner can all follow their own inevitable progress to the top of the list. (The other member of the 2025 HoF class, Dick Allen, is no longer eligible, alas.)
One of those men may someday earn the coveted title of
Oldest Living Hall of Famer! Currently, the oldest living Hall of Famer is Luis Aparicio (born April 29, 1934). He inherited the title from Willie Mays when Mays passed away on June 18, 2024.
