The oldest player to debut in minor league Baseball is Jim "Catfish" Hunter, who made his first appearance at age 25 in 1964. However, the record for the oldest player to play in the minors in any year is held by Julio Franco, who played in the minor leagues at age 49 in 2007. His longevity in baseball is noteworthy, as he continued to play professionally well into his late 40s and early 50s.

In major league baseball, a player may not re-enter the game after he has been removed. However; the all-star game has its own set of rules such that a catcher can return. (I only vaguely remember hearing this on a Fox broadcast and have not actually looked up that rule...so that could be inaccurate.)
Nolan Ryan made his Major League debut with the New York Mets on September 11, 1966.
