Who had the longest major league career of all time?

(includes American Association, National Association, 19th century National league--but I don't think he's a 19th century player) |

Both Nolan Ryan and Cap Anson played major league ball (incl. National Association 1871-1875) for 27 straight seasons. Even the players that skipped years (or played a game or two on a lark when they were 50+ like O'Rourke, Brouthers and Minoso still don't reach 27 if we give them credit for a whole year for their cameos. |

My guess would be Jack Quinn, a pitcher who appeared in both the T206 set and in the 1933 Goudey set! |

I hold the record for the shortest streak on the field. A guard stopped me before I got to the first base line. |

According to the Baseball Almanac, Nolan Ryan had the longest Major League career (27 years) followed by Eddie Collins (25 years) and Pete Rose (24 years). |

Baseball Almanac clearly didn't count Anson's National Association years. If you count those then Anson played the same number of years in the majors as Ryan (27), but all of his were consecutive, whereas Ryan only played in 26 consecutive (he didn't pitch in the majors in 1967). Quinn pitched from 1909-1933 (a 25 season span) but didn't pitch two years during WWI. Paige would hold the record if you counted his negro league years, so I guess it all depends on how you define the question. |

but Dolly Stark should get honorable mention by making it in the t206 set and then later as an umpire. |

I'm expecting to do quite well with my Ruth "game-used" underwear tags cards. Haven't you wondered why these things aren't showing up on ebay anymore? |

James (Deacon) McQuire, a catcher, played for 26 years, however, he played sparingly from 1907-1912. |

Since the question was 'Who had the longest Major League Career?'- the answer is obvious, if overlooked (shame on y'all): Connie Mack |
