Respect your elders.
That's exactly what we set out to do here as we searched for the 10 best MLB players over the age of 35.
Most players break into the league before their 25th birthday and peak in their late 20s/early 30s, so sticking around past the age of 35 and continuing to produce at a high level is an accomplishment.
It's also a testament to that player's level of durability and conditioning as well as their adaptability. Advanced age often necessitates things like a position change for a hitter or a different approach with diminished velocity for a pitcher.
