Can old people make World Series?

If Jamie Moyer can do it................

I think it is definitely harder, but not impossible. Reaction time/vision is a real thing with age. I am 45 and each year I have climbed to right around 800, but I typically stop at that point. The game just is not as enjoyable to me past 700. I think I could push on past 800 ( at least previous years), but choose not to. I know there are plenty of other people better than me, so I definitely think they could make WS at an older age.

@soulshred99 If you made it in 21 you can do it in 24 too

@soulshred99 its a struggle this year.

@crash447 I made it to 805 this season and then lost 3 in a row

I am old. I haven’t made World Series since July 2021. Should I give up?
Well... i made it in mlbts 22 was last time version for me at 46. Come close last yr 890s , haven't tried yet this yr. I consider myself old
but now i feel my reaction time isn't as good. Gotta wear glasses now, it sucks. Is what it is. Im sure older ppl then me making WS no problem though. Its doable. -
I’m 46 and have made WS every season that I’ve put in the time. This year’s game is different. With everyone hitting .400 with their entire lineup it’s just really hard to stack wins. Never had a problem making WS but haven’t cracked 700 yet this year and don’t expect to with the hitting the way it is.
-
I'm 53 and lucky to get to 500. Maybe it's age, maybe I just suck. No way to know really.

@soulshred99 I just turned 48. I made WS this year. Failed to do so in '21, '22, '23. Started eating a "balanced breakfast." Made all the difference.
-
Breakfast is NOT the most important meal of the day. That's Big Breakfast getting into your head.

I am 40. Not as old as some of you. I started playing when it was first released on Xbox and it took me a couple years to get to World Series but started to hitting it regular. I was that first year a .220 online hitter and now much better. I was able to get away with some bad hitting games but not this year. I am above 800 about you have to be able to hit no matter what now and it’s a struggle. I am 27-10. Last year I started out like 24-0.
-
Depends on your definition of old and the person. I’m in my 60s and there is no chance for me.
-
If the servers work; its possible.
-
One day I really want to try to make WS. I get to the 700s then run into a guy who crushes everything I throw, and I deem the mission impossible.
-
I’m 49. The one and only year I made WS was in ‘17. I made WS like 5 times that year. Also the only year I went 12-0 in BR. I think if I really put the time in I could probly get close. As a previous gentleman stated, the game is no longer fun for me over 700. I have to use cheaters to see the ball now. It just isn’t as fun as it once was. I still like the game and more or less use it as a way to keep up with younger players. Otherwise I would have no clue who plays on what team.

I played a guy who pitched well today. Then I put up 8 in one inning. He quit, and I msged him. I said, bro, u pitched very well! Had me off balance! Gg's! Then he replies, ya right. U killed me in the 7th. This is why I give up trying to get to ws!
I said don't give up! You'll get there! Just don't be too predictable with your relievers.Point is, you're going to lose games. But you'll also win! And when u play, make sure u learn from your mistakes! That's how u get better!
-
@virusts yea I feel that… I started I think 16-0 last year, and this I’m like 22-11 or something like that.
-
I’m 34. Last time I made WS was 2019. I could probably do it if all I played was ranked.
-
45 years old this year. Made WS last 2 years. Noticed I'm struggling a bit more this year, but still play pretty competitively. I think it's still very possible for us old guys, just a bit tougher overall as reactions slow a tick
