The playoffs and all-star game are counted.  Games where a player only pinch hit but did not play in the field are not–unlike the previous post.  Hence, Utley has the highest number here even though Howard played in more winning games.

Ryan Howard played in the most winning games in 2008

Ryan Howard played in 103 winning games in 2008–the most in the
majors.  The Phillies won 92 regular season and 11 post season games
when he officially stepped on the field.  I included the all-star game
in tabulations.  Here’s everyone who played in at least 78 winning
games last year:
