Oldest Managers In The Modern Era

[philliesfiend55]

Bobby Cox announced that he will retire after next season at age 69. Joe Torre will manage the Los Angeles Dodgers at least through 2010 at age 70. Felipe Alou and Frank Robinson each stepped down after the 2006 season when each was 71.
Casey Stengel may have managed too long with his return to baseball with the New York Mets in the early 1960s. Stengel was in his early and mid-70s during his four year tenure with the Mets.

In addition to Stengel and the others mentioned above, who have been the oldest active managers over the last half-century (since 1960)?

If memory serves me right, I believe Jack Mckeon was 73 or 74 when he retired after the 2005 campaign. That means he was "in the world series" at about age 71,72.

Red Schoendienst was in his upper 60s in 1990 managing the Cardinals.
So was Leo Durocher when was managing the Cubs in the early 70s.
Tommy Lasorda managed through his 60s as well.
Felipe Alou was in his 70s.

My God, am I that old, that the modern era in baseball is now defined as the last 50 years? I was going to bring up Connie Mack, but after rereading the original post, never mind.
