Every Manager Whose Career Began After And Ended Before Jack McKeon's

Jack McKeon will likely be named interim manager of the Marlins, making him the oldest skipper in baseball by 14 years. McKeon broke into pro baseball in 1949, the same year as Mickey Mantle, and debuted as a major league manager in 1973, as did Whitey Herzog. Of the 671 managers in major league history, 157 of them had careers that started after and ended before McKeon's (provided he gets the job). Via Baseball-Reference, here are those managers, along with the number of games they managed.
