I don't know the answer. Based on sheer longevity, I'm guessing it's Pete Rose vs. someone.

Rose and Tom Seaver both had really long careers in the NL over similar timespans.
They were on the same team for almost 2 years, but they probably met a lot.

Walter Johnson/Ty Cobb
Warren Spahn/Stan Musial
Phil Niekro/Pete Rose
This is what I found will looking around. The top 2 are hard to verify according to the time they played. Niekro/Rose was at 266 AB's.

That is either a typo on your part or your source's part.Rose had 226 at-bats vs Phil Niekro.Willie Mays had 227 at-bats vs Drysdale.

Musial vs Spahn: 244 at-batsFrom Cobb's Wikipedia page: 1927 was also the final season of Washington Senators pitcher Walter Johnson's career. With their careers largely overlapping, Ty Cobb faced Johnson more times than any other batter-pitcher matchup in baseball history.

this is my guess
Good call there, but at best it would be #2 on the active list.Jeter has 103 at-bats vs Wakefield.I figured Jaime Moyer might have a matchup that bettered Jeter-Wakefield. He does. Garret Anderson has had 109 at-bats vs Moyer.

Maybe Chipper vs. someone? He's been around forever.

Yeah I thought about Chipper but couldn't think of any SP that hung around the division that long
Moyer is freakin old
ETA: Cheated and confirmed my hunch that the active guy Chipper's faced most is Livan Hernandez (65), but career-wise he's faced Al Leiter more (72). Livan should take the lead if the two of them can stay on the field.
