Question 1:
What left-handed outfielder, pinch-hitter and first baseman, with a colorful nickname, played his final game in September of 1963? Answer: Whitey Herzog.

This one required me to look at some reference websites to answer this. Okay first, I need a website that has stats of baseball players. Yea, I could use Wikipedia, except some of their information is going to be incomplete(like is a player left or right handed). Instead, let's use baseball-reference.com and have Google search it for the answer. Type left outfielder pinch-hitter and first baseman 1963 site:baseball-reference.com. In the first page of search results there are two candidates: Whitey Herzog and Tito Francona. I tried the former, which ended it right there.

Question 2:
If the names of NASA's space shuttles are listed alphabetically, how many missions were flown by the fourth one on the list? Answer: 39.

I'm getting tired from my dig in class notes for sports reference sites. This time I'm going to use Wikipedia to answer this. You need a list of orbiters, finding any information will draw you to a general page: Space Shuttle orbiter. There you find a list of orbiters in sequence of construction: Enterprise, Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour. Going to the Wikipedia page of the correct orbiter and looking at the number of completed missions will give you an answer.

Question 3:
What poem title did T. S. Eliot say he created by combining the titles of a romance by William Morris with the title of a Rudyard Kipling poem? Answer: The Hollow Men.

Type TS Eliot poem William Morris title Rudyard Kipling into the search field. Now we have the title of this literary chimera.
