Jack Quinn's Final stop of a 25 year MLB career was with the 1933 Cincinnati Reds

Jack Quinn pitched his final MLB game at the age of 50 years and 6 days. Between 1909 and 1933 he compiled a 247-212 record in the majors, including a two year stint with Baltimore of the Federal League where he went 35-36. He is the oldest major leaguer of all-time in terms of continuous service in the majors and not counting comeback years after players had been retired for at least a decade, such as Satchel Paige and Minnie Minoso. Quinn holds records for Oldest player to play in a World Series, oldest player to pitch in a World series game and oldest Pitcher to Start a World Series Game. Starting game record was with the 1929 Philadelphia Athletics: Play & Pitch World series records are with the 1930 Phila. A's
The Top three are: 1.Jack Quinn 50 year, 6 days.. 2. Hoyt Wilhelm 49 years, 350 days of age in final game. Hall Of Famer Reliever & Starter. 143-122 between 1952 and 1972 Authored a no-hitter and a number of one-hitters. 3. Julio Franco: (oldest MLB position player of all-time) at 49 years, 25 days in his final game. MLB career 1982-2007, with three years lost to playing in Mexico, Japan and Korea.: Lasted long enough to play a game with the Mets on the 25th anniversary MLB debut. Franco had 2,586 Hits and a .298 career batting average in 2,527 MLB games.
Despite these challenges by Wilhelm and Franco, Quinn's record has not fallen. It is now 86 years since Quinn has played in his final MLB game. Quinn's final MLB game came on July 7,1933, one day after the first ever MLB all-star game was played. (no rest days after the all-star game back then.....those guys were tough!)
