If you start in 1987, Mike Schmidt and Nolan Ryan will be old. If you start in 1973 Ryan and Schmidt will be young but Frank Robinson and Bob Gibson will be old. That's how it works.
It may feel frustrating or annoying to you that some star or favorite player is 37 when you start up your league and so you miss on their whole career. But it would be really weird for the game to work otherwise. If this really bothers you, just manually make that dude young. That's one nice thing about OOTP, you have the keys to do whatever you want!

I agree. Sometimes getting a Ruth, Aaron or Bonds at the end of their careers can be exciting, as you have no idea which players will replace them at the top of the home run list. I think it's cool to see if guys can squeeze in the 10 years required to make the Hall of Fame. There are so many players it really doesn't bother me when I lose out on a superstar due to age.
Also, in my above post, I was talking about how OOTP recycles players in random debuts. Therefore, I figure if one was to delete a 38 year old Babe Ruth before he gets drafted and plays a game, I have to think he would reappear later.
