Not really. In basketball and football, yes.
Of course is is not young, but old implies well past your prime, when in fact, many star players have played or are playing in their prime well in their thirties. Chipper Jones, Ichiro, Jeff Kent, Ivan Rodriguez, Edmonds, Biggio, Griffey, Dye, Thome, Ordonez, Mora, etc. I left off Giambi and Bonds due to the likelihood of artifical enhancement. I also left out pitchers.
There are exceptions, but I wanted to illustrate that 34 isn't old in baseball years, especially compared to other major sports.
