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

[Aquarian Sports Cards]

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.

[D. Bergin]

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.

Red must also hold the record for total service time with a single team, at 67 years with the Cardinals organization.

If scouting time counts, Charlie Wagner had 73 years as a player, coach, and scout- all with the Red Sox.

Did we mention Tommy Giordano yet? 71 years.

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.
