We appear to be down to just an even dozen players active on Opening Day 2015 rosters who were also playing ML baseball back during that slice of ancient history known as the 1990s.
The chart below, arranged by order of debut date, fills in all those who were active during 2014 but have since retired (officially or not, voluntarily or otherwise) or, at least as of this moment, have failed to make active rosters.
Those left blank are the 12 who are on 25 man rosters as of yesterday.

Yeah I had somehow managed to leave Papi out of my original chart, but he's in there now.
So there are actually 10 players in addition to the three already named. A baker's dozen rather than just a plain dozen.

Buddy Carlyle.

Forever doomed to be the second-greatest Buddy in Mets history, but certainly the top-performing Buddy yesterday.

I had to go check my first guess and wow... Ichiro Suzuki is in his 15th major league season! but 2001 is too late and Japan doesnt count.

Nathan = Yes
Dickey = No (first ML game was 2001)
Ramirez = Yes
Hudson = Yes
Burnett = Yes
Abreu = No, he formally retired (which means I should have had him with the 2014 players)


I'll update the chart later
Three remaining

Yes, but only since 2005 for him.
It's easy to forget that he's all of 31 y/o right now.


As far as who Billy Marlin + Oliver Oriole is supposed to represent, I have no idea.

Marlin Bird, man. Wtf calls him "Oliver"? To folks I know, he's just "The Bird."

Doesn't matter. Byrd is incorrect.
