What current manager/official has been in MLB the longest?

[sandmountainslim]

What currently active (in one form or another) person has been involved in MLB as a player, manager, coach, office staff the longest?
Nolan Ryan has been around since 1966 as a Met and currently is a special assistant to the owner of the Astros which is a pretty long time at fifty years but I can't help but think there has to be someone who has been around even longer
Any ideas?
