There are definitely leagues that have simulated a couple hundred years into the future and if you really wanted to you could start as early as 1800. Ballplayers never die in large part because once they've retired they're kind of dead in baseball terms anyway. Managers retire as well, and IRL they generally don't do that job until they're dead either. There are plenty of guys, from Tony LaRussa to Jim Leyland to Bobby Cox, who might be able to do most of the job if they really had to but who just aren't going to be able to tell athletic 25 year olds to hustle, and who nobody wants to see wearing a baseball uniform.
I feel like the game mostly avoids the sadder aspects of the game when it can so I appreciate the decision not to have a death mechanic...
