David Adler notes that no one on an opening day roster played in the 20th century. Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia, and Albert Pujols all debuted in 2001. I have to think it’s unusual to not have at least one player in his 40s. Also:
On the other end of the spectrum is 19-year-old Elvis Luciano. Luciano, a Blue Jays Rule 5 Draft pick who was born on Feb. 15, 2000, made Toronto’s Opening Day roster. That makes him MLB’s first active player born in the 2000s.

That was technically in the 20th century, but the game has crossed a barrier.
