Every Deceased Major League Player from My Lifetime

I had maintained this list over on Facebook, but with Facebook shutting down its blogging services, I might as well transition this to this forum. Over the past year or so I've been keeping track of the players in each of the four major team sports (baseball, basketball, football, hockey) that made it to the top league in their respective sport (MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL) sometime in my lifetime (I was born January 25, 1985) that has since passed away.

This is the master list of all 1194 players from all four sports that played in their respective Major Leagues within my lifetime that are now deceased. In the individual lists the players were listed in reverse chronological order. However, in this one we are listing the players by chronological order by date of death. I will list the dates of their last Major League game. If multiple players died on the same day, the then I will list the player whose career ended earlier first.

Every Deceased NBA Player From My Lifetime

I had maintained this list over on Facebook, but with Facebook shutting down its blogging services, I might as well transition this to this forum. Over the past year or so I've been keeping track of the players in each of the four major team sports (baseball, basketball, football, hockey) that made it to the top league in their respective sport (MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL) sometime in my lifetime (I was born January 25, 1985) that has since passed away. The MLB, NFL and NHL lists were easy since the Sports References site for those sports list every dead player by year. The Basketball Reference page does not. I had to click every player on every roster for every team since 1985. In the end I found this list of 129 players that have since passed away. They are listed in reverse chronological order of their final games. If two players played their last game on the same day, then the player that died later is listed earlier.
