Contest - Baseball Trivia!

Okay. I'm avoiding something I have to do here at work... so it seems like a good time for a little baseball trivia contest. Let's see how all you experts do with these. Some of 'em are pretty easy. Some are a little tougher.

Contest lasts for 24 hours. First prize is this beautiful $5 chip from Caesars in Atlantic City. (And I use the word "beautiful" in the context wherein one does not find a small nick on the reverse side to detract from its general attractiveness.) First post with the most correct answers get it.

If anyone answers ALL 15 of these questions correctly, they will receive from me yet another $5 chip of my choice (probably from somewhere you don't collect.) So here goes...

1) Which player hit a home run in his first major league at-bat and never hit another one over his 21-year career?

2) Who is the only player to hit two grand slams in one inning?

3) Who was the only pitcher since 1900 to hit 3 home runs in a major league game?

4) Who was the only pitcher to hit 2 grand slams in a major league game?

5) What record has Joe “Iron Man” McGinnity held since the 1903 season?

6) Who holds the record for the lowest batting average in a season while playing in at least 150 games?

7) Who holds the record for the fewest singles in a season while playing in at least 150 games?

8) Who holds the record for the fewest RBI’s in a season with at least 500 at-bats?

9) Who holds the record for most major-league at-bats without a home run?

10) Who hit into a triple play in his final major league at-bat?

11) Who is the only man in major league history to hit into a triple-play and to accomplish one in the field?

12) Who is the only major league player whose every hit of a single season was a home run?

13) Who is the only major league player to commit 4 errors in a single inning?

14) What record does Rennie Stennett have a piece of, and who does he share it with?

15) What record does Charles Barrett hold?
