Yes! Excellent! Johnny Podres.
Podres was the pitching coach for Don Zimmer on the 73 Padres, working with a young Randy Jones among others.

All questions except 5 have hints or clues.
Number 4 has a really tough hint hidden in its last line.

For #2, the same-name family sure sound like Sandy, Roberto, and Sandy Alomar Jr.

Unfortunately I don't know of any Sandy-s that played for the Dodgers.

Lol, I see your hint. "Lunacy"

I'm guessing it's Blue Moon Odom.

Pretty sure I know #7, too, but only because of the hint as well. I would have guessed Whitey Ford without the first-name hint (Ralph).

Nice, yes, John "Blue Moon" Odom was tagged out at the plate! Awesome!

Yes, the Alomars... and Sandy was the Brooklyn LF hero... his last name is associated with the word in quotes... very tough question...!

Yes on Lee May! Great batting stance-- or at least the way he shook his bat at the plate like a baby rattle!

Right, Ralph is the first name on #7. Last name is the same phonetically as the first name of an actress in "Young Frankenstein"... yeah, i used to daydream about this actress.
