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.
