Last week, we put together the oldest lineup in Yankees history, taking a look at all oldest players to appear in a game at each position for the Yankees. In general, all the names on that list tended to be a notable name from history, as players with a reputation for being great tend to get more chances and stick around longer.
The same is not necessarily true for the youngest players in baseball history. Where there are plenty of examples of Hall of Famers making their debuts at 18-19 years old, there are other players from over the years who do that and then don’t end up having much of a career.
