Unlike the NBA logo which we all know is Jerry West the MLB logo is most likely just as generic silhouette unless there is some ballplayer out there who was left with a very pointy nose after being hit in the face with a pitch.
From MLB.com:
"No one player has ever been identified as the model of the 1969 Major League Baseball batter logo."
Harmon Killebrew is a rumor according to Wikipedia.
