In 1986, six players got votes for ROY in the AL. Jose Canseco won the voting and probably had the best career of all six players. It seems that a couple of these player were able to ride out their reputation and play past their prime. Cory Snyder had 3 seasons of positive WAR, but was able to player for 10 seasons, while Ruben Sierra had 10 seasons of positive WAR while playing 25 seasons.

Small comment -
I think you are miscounting some seasons for Sierra when he switched teams mid-season. 25 years from 1986 would be 2011.

You also have 15 years of Danny Tartabull.
He had partial seasons in ‘84 and ’85, but he retired after 1997. That’s 14 seasons.
On Sierra, he played 20 seasons – every year from ’86 to ’06 except for ’99.
