If scouting time counts, Charlie Wagner had 73 years as a player, coach, and scout- all with the Red Sox.

If you include minor leagues, Jimmy Reese must be up there as well. But I think Red has the record.

Nigero league major league player, 1st black coach in MLB, scout, and service to baseball hall of famer veterans committee, plus much more:

Buck Oneil 1934-2006 was a nice run for a nice guy.
