Who was the only pitcher to start, (exactly), 100 games in an American League season?
Babe Ruth. Actually, my math was a little bit off.

In 1918, as a member of the Boston Red Sox, Ruth started 89 of the 105 games in which he played, including 19 games as a starting pitcher, 57 starts in the outfield, and 13 starts at first base. The next year, he started 106 games, 15 of them as a pitcher.

I never said he was the starting pitcher in 100 games in a season, I said he was a pitcher who started in 100 games. Ruth pitched a combined 300 innings in 1918-19, so it's not a trick question, only a trickily worded one.

In a similar vein, what major league pitcher pitched in more than 100 games in one season, logging more than 200 innings pitched that year?

It was served to the king and he said that it was "A" number 1, in the UK it is sold under the HP name brand and it was awarded the royal warrant. Which means it is used in the royal household.

Mr. G. Washington, an Englishman who lived in Guatemala, invented instant coffee. He discovered soluble coffee in 1906 and three years later was able to put his products on the market. .
