Who has the longest career in major leagues, including playing and managing??

Another honorable mention was Clark Griffith at 70 total years.

From his SABR bio: “In terms of duration, as a player, manager, and executive, it was one of the longest ever, spanning nearly 70 years. Griffith is the only man in major league history to serve as player, manager, and owner for at least 20 years each. From his earliest days as a pitcher for money in Hoopeston, Illinois, to his last breath, the Old Fox, as he became fondly known, dedicated his life to baseball.”

Speaking of Washington, Nick Altrock logs in at 60+ years as ML player and coach.

Frank Robinson began in the Minors in 1953. Depending on how you define his roles, he retired in 2015. So roughly 62 years. (I'm not aware of any breaks between those years, though it is possible there was a gap somewhere)

All them old saps...

Mack, Wheat, Reese, Stengle, Zimmer, Pesky, Red....probably all mentioned here already.

I wonder what CURRENT rube will still be around 30 years from now.

Varitek?

Me too! These cards of "The Old Fox" span his long career in baseball, from a player beginning at age 18 in 1888, to a team manager, to a team owner when he passed at age 85 in 1955.
