Del Boca Vista (scuba) is one (George also didn't appear)

Correct. The name of the episode is “The Pen”.

There is one more. 

Chinese Restaurant 

When is Newman first heard, and when does Newman first appear?

he's first heard when he threatens to jump off the roof of the apartment block. I think I read somewhere they had to overdub his lines for syndication when he was later cast in the role (it was first read by Larry David if I recall correctly). 

I think his first appearance was when he got caught speeding with Kramer's faulty radar detector?

You're right on the first one. And yes, Larry David originally did the voice but Wayne Knight later re-recorded it for syndication. 

He appears in like two or three episodes before the radar detector though.

can't recall the name of the episode...maybe when george asks him why postal workers shoot everybody, and he said "cause the mail never stops"?

You're getting closer...but still not his first appearance. 

His first appearance is in season 3. Newman (leaving Kramer's apartment) sees Jerry coming out of his apartment with the girlfriend of Martin (the guy in the coma) and Newman threatens to tell Martin. Jerry almost buys Newman off with a drake's coffee cake. "That's your big boy." 

They actually do the Hello Jerry/Hello Newman bit during that very first interaction, but without it coming off like a "catchphrase" yet. 

Has anyone seen this yet? Literally one of the best things the internet has had to offer in a long while

what is Newman's explanation to George of why postmen often commit mass shootings?

Speaking of Elaine's thumb dance, what song is playing that gets the party started?

This is admittedly a tough question: there's a poster in Jerry's apartment (outside of the bathroom) of a baseball field. The artist's name is prominently displayed at the bottom. Who is the artist?  

No idea

So I will ask one of my own.....who did George consider trading for Barry Bonds when he thought he was on the cusp of being a heartbeat away from General Manager?

I remember him saying that when he was in a ditch surviving on grubs and puddle water, he came up with a way to get Bonds and Griffey without having to give up too much. But I don't recall him ever naming someone to trade for Bonds.
