It's like Gordie Howe staggering around the rink in his 70's to say he played in six decades. The oldsters I know of were as follows:

Minoso: pinch hit at 59. 1977 Topps has a commemorative card
O'Doul: pinch hit in the PCL at 59
Paige: hard to say precisely how old he was, but he pitched at least a few games in the mid-60's for Miami's minor league team, when he was around 60 years old.
Nolan Ryan: deserves honorable mention for draggin' his butt out there at 47. As a power pitcher.
