My guess is Burleigh Grimes who pitched on the 1917 Pirates (Wagner's last year).
Grimes died in December 1985 at the age of 92!
I just went through the entire 1917 Pirates team to see when each died (bored at work today!) and Grimes died most recently (1985). I would assume that any team prior to 1917 would not yield anybody older than that.
That's my guess.
