Bizzare one: who are the youngest switch-hitting shortstops to homer in the last half-century?

Go to PI's Batting Gamelog Finder, and set the search at requiring HR>=1 and Age<=20 for SS  switch-hitters.

Here's the results.   Jose Reyes did it four times, Jose Oquendo once, and Garry Templeton.  No teenaged switch-hitting SS ever did it, though.  At least not since 1957.  Reyes was the youngest, and his was a grandslam.
