It is nothing more than a silhoutte of a batter. The misconception that it is Harmon Killebrew has been addressed and answered by the MLB itself.
"Common Folklore suggests that the silhouette of Harmon Killebrew swinging a bat is the official logo of Major League Baseball. However, MLB.com states the following:
"The MLB logo: No one player has ever been identified as the model of the 1969 Major League Baseball batter logo"".

There is no definitive answer to this. The silhouetted player has never been revealed. It is, however, been assumed to be Harmon Killabrew

I don't think it is any one person. Just a general batter.
