I'm not sure if this is the most but it had to be close --- Sparky Anderson appeared in 152 games for the Phillies in 1959, his only year in the majors.

Thanks! Someone else informed me of that too, and also asked the question:

what not so good record does Sparky still hold from that year? I don't know, do you?

Since 1901, he holds the record for the lowest OPS+ in a season by a 2nd baseman that qualified for the batting title.
