Not THAT amazing. He was 67, there have certainly been older managers.

Older, maybe. But none in the majors for longer.

Dusty Baker? Connie Mack? Baker's RC was 1971 and I don't know if they still make manager cards, but he could have had one 50 plus years later. Even if you don't count LaRussa's comeback, his RC was 1964 and he could have had a manager card in 2011, 47 years later. 58 years later if you count his recent comeback. Joe Torre RC 1962 was still managing in 2010 (48 years).

In professional baseball (counting a few years in the minors) Reds Tenure was 76 years with 74 of them being consecutive. (And 67 years just with the Cardinals). That's longer than Dusty Baker is old. Connie Mack I believe is 65 years total.

And therefore what? You don't get a card for being an executive or consultant or whatever Red was in his 70s and 80s, we are talking about player - manager sequence. Jake said it was "amazing" Red had a card 38 years after 1952 Topps (42 years from his RC) and I'm putting that in context.

Its amazing given the 1952 topps context, very few others from that 1952 are close to Red's 1990, thats the amazing part.. as for the manager part.

If was a player of course more amazing..but thats why i wondered for each manager and player what their last year was in a topps issue after the 1952 set..
