 I'll take a guess and say Ken Holtzman.  I remember him hitting a homer around 1974, but it might have been in the World Series.

I agree, Dan.  I will answer these without consulting anyone/anything.

Q1.  I think it was Ron Blomberg of the Yankees

Q2.  I don't know.  How 'bout Bobby Murcer?

Q3.  Alex Johnson won it.  He was 202/614, which figures to .32899
     Carl Yastrzemski was second.  He was 186/566 for .3286219

Q4.  Hank Aaron was traded for Davey May of the Brewers between the 
     1974 and 1975 seasons.

Q5.  I have to guess it was Oscar Gamble, but who measured his hair?
