Dmitri Young of the Washington Nationals.
He's the only one of whom I am aware. Probability says there are likely a few others.

The most famous one was Ron Santo, and he kept it under wraps for years, playing 3rd base for the Cubs during the 1960s and 70's, and is now an announcer for the Cubs. I think he recently had his legs amputated because of it. Despite that, he put together a carear that should have landed him in the HOF, and has continued to be one of the most enduring figures in cubs history
