The last player to not wear a helmet was Bob Montgomery in 1979. The last to wear a helmet without earflaps was Tim Raines in 2002. Currently Julio Franco could if he wanted.

I think it should be up to the player myself.

I'm pretty sure Gary Gaetti was the last grandfathered player allowed to wear a no-flap helmet who chose to do so. Franco would still qualify but uses the flap style.
