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.”

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.
