Wow...the only other name that comes to mind is Mack, but I don't know for sure.

Connie Mack was a major league player 1886-1896 (and sometimes a playing manager). He manage the Athletics for fifty years starting in 1901, so his major league career lasted 61 years. (He managed Milwaukee, a minor league team, 1897-1900.) Mack never wore a uniform as a non-playing manager.

Only 61? What a slacker

If you include scouting Johnny Pesky and Charlie Wagner are both way up there.

I was thinking Connie Mack, but there could be a scout with more, but that would have been one long career.

Zimmer had like 65 years including minor league stints here and there along the way.

You can probably tack on a few more years to Red's record, if you count minor league service.

Why does baseball use the term "service"? It doesn't seem like the right concept to me. Never understood that.

Was Red really still suiting up for games those last couple of decades? If so that's amazing.

If you include coaching roles, Don Zimmer must be pretty high on the list.
