Casey Stengel: longest span of sets?

I've enjoyed this thread.

As I understand it, to fine tune the constraints, we're talking about who was the baseball player who has a cards from sets with the greatest number of years between set issue, depicting the player while he was either a player, coach, or manager.

I'd like it to be Stengel. I think I have one of his 1965 cards. It would be neat to post both the 1910 and 1965 card at the same time.



Connie Mack had a bunch of years between cards. Maybe he doesn't count because he didn't wear a uniform... We need a list of the 5 longest.

Jimmy Reese may well be the fellow with the greatest span. I think I have him on a Zee-Nut, don't know if it was his first one. I'll dig those out this week. I do have a 1956 4 page PCL contract that was signed both by Mr. Reese, and by Ralph Kiner. Here are 2 of the pages.
