It looks like those "nerdy" ivy league GMs are getting the aging curves right IRL. Of the 35 players in these lists of the best players of the 1907 season, only two were over the age of 32 (long thought to be the end of a player's prime). Those two both played for the 104-58 Detroit Tigers: 33-year old AL MVP, and WJA winner Eppa Rixey, and 35-year old Bobby Mitchell.
