    The MLB logo is NOT Harmon Killebrew. It can be interpreted as a left handed hitter awaiting a pitch or a right handed hitter on his follow through after contact. The article at this link http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=lukas/081105 tells the story of its design. The article at this link http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=lukas/081118 tells of Harmon Killebrew saying he was the inspiration for the MLB logo and how much it resembles other MLB players such as Joe Torre, Johnny Bench, Rusty Staub, and MLB’s first DH, Ron Blomberg.

    This logo IS based on Killebrew: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3215/3031003976_fdff1d62d2_o.png. It belongs to the Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association.

    Right handed. I actually learned that on a tour of Fenway Park a few years ago.

    I think of it as a RH batter — so the viewer is looking at his back — but it is deliberately ambiguous.

    Since it’s rumored to a silhouette of Harmon Killebrew then I say he’s batting right-handed.

    It’s not rumored, it is Harmon Killebrew so it’s right handed.

    The NBA logo is Jerry West.

    Alright first of all. WHO THINKS OF THIS. You must have a lot of time on your hands to look at a MLB logo and go hmmm is he a left handed batter or right. WHO CARES and why are you wasting your time asking people over the internet. Go get some friends or a social life.

    PS: if your man comment back!

    Rite handed. The pic seems to be from behind the batter. The bat pointing rite, batter looking left, like a rite handed hitter.

    I always looked at it as a right handed batter. And it’s actually not Harmon Killebrew.

    Directly from the mouth of the man who designed the MLB logo :

    His son once heard a radio broadcaster say that Minnesota Twins slugger Harmon Killebrew served as his model for the logo. Mr. Dior’s response: "That’s completely untrue. It’s not Harmon Killebrew. It’s not anyone in particular."
