Yeah, Templeton was the first. The only other switch hitter to do it was Willie Wilson.
If Templeton had had the sense God gave biscuit dough, he would have been one of the all-time great shortstops. (Maybe it was more a matter of character and maturity than intelligence.)
I know that a lot of Cardinal fans really criticized Whitey Herzog for pushing the trade of Templeton to San Diego for a then "good field-no hit" shortstop named Ozzie Smith...for about two years, until it was obvious that Templeton was self-destructing and Ozzie was a real all-around asset.

The first switch-hitter to do this was Garry Templeton in 1979. In order to reach 100 from the right side, he spent the last nine games batting exclusively right-handed. He finally reached the plateau on September 28, 1979 by rapping three hits against the New York Mets. Templeton finished the season with 211 hits in 150 games.

My guess would be Pete Rose.
