Using the National Pastime Almanac (best tool ever!), it's possible to determine that there were six 1-1, 1 HR seasons in the major leagues between 1901 and 2008 (the Almanac hasn't been updated to include 2009 yet, alas). They are:
The above-mentioned Felix Hernandez.
Bill Lefebvre (scrub pitcher with a 5.03 lifetime ERA) for the Red Sox in 1938.
Buster Narum (another pitcher, 14-27 lifetime) for the Orioles in 1963.
Guillermo Mota (yes!) for the Expos in 1999.
Esteban Yan for the Devil Rays in 2000.
Eddie Rogers (a middle infielder and the only non-pitcher on this list) for the Orioles in 2005.
Quirk doesn't make the list because he had two at-bats with the White Sox prior to playing for Cleveland, and thus was technically 1-3 on the season. I am unsure if any other instances like that exist: Players who hit a home run in their only at-bat with one team, but also played for another team that season. I do know that Quirk, Narum, and Yan are the only players in that time period to go 1-1 with a HR in their whole career with a team, but that's not exactly the same search.
nationalpastimealmanac.com, if you want to be able to search geeky stuff like this, too. :-)
Edited to add: After posting this, I decided to go back and search for pre-1901 instances of the same stat line. There were none, which isn't surprising when you consider they hit comparatively few home runs back then and didn't substitute as much.
