- Pete Rose only hit one grand slam in his career. The pitcher who yielded it later became Rose’s manager. Who was the pitcher?
Dallas Green, maybe? Fred Hutchinson was a pitcher, but he was Rose’s first manager (I think).

Jerry Grote. He caught the game when Tom Seaver struck out 10 batters in a row, and putouts are credited to the catcher on a strikeout.

Yes.
As for the Nap Lajoie question, the other answer is that he is the only one in the group that never pitched in the majors.

Except, of course, when the catcher drops the ball and has to throw to the first baseman* to complete the out. In that case, the catcher gets an assist, but the recipient of the toss is credited with the putout.
- or other fielder, in such rare cases as the pitcher covering first on an anticipated bunt or the toss going to the third baseman in a bases loaded, two out situation

48b. Who got the first hit at Fulton County for the Braves?

I gonna go ahead and give the answer for these, as I think they are too esoteric to matter. The answers are more interesting than the questions.
48a. Who got the first hit at Fulton County Stadium in Atlanta? Matty Alou
48b. Who got the first hit at Fulton County for the Braves? Matty’s brother Felipe Alou
48c. Who got the last hit at Fulton County Stadium? Matty’s nephew and Felipe’s son, Moises Alou

Dallas Green is exactly right
