For the players on the list above the most games in a season by a starting battery is 41 by Lolich/Freehan in 1971. I did a PI search to see which battery might hold the seasonal record. Since 1914 Wilbur Wood is the only pitcher with more than 47 GS in a season. He started 49 games in 1972 and Ed Herrmann was the starting catcher in 48 of them. I didn’t even question once what he was calling.” During the perfect game, Cain knew if chicks weren’t going to dig the long ball, dudes would dig the fast ball. Catching a perfect game is just as rare as throwing one. Think about Carlton Fisk: his longevity included more than 2,200 games and he didn’t catch one perfect game.

In baseball statistics, games started (denoted by GS) indicates the number of games that a pitcher has started for his team. A pitcher is credited with starting the game if he throws the first pitch to the first opposing batter. If a player is listed in the starting lineup as the team's pitcher, but is replaced before facing an opposing batter, the player is credited with a game pitched but not a game started; there have been instances in major league history in which a starting pitcher was removed before his first pitch due to an injury, perhaps suffered while batting or running the bases during the top half of the first inning.
The all-time leader for games started is Cy Young with 815 over a 22-year career. The players with the most starts in a single season are Pud Galvin and Will White, each with 75 games started.[1]
For position players, games started is also used to denote the number of times their names appear in a team's starting lineup during the season.
