Not Harmon

I, too, once heard that Harmon Killebrew was the silhouette for the MLB logo. Not true, according to this Wall Street Journal article on the logo's designer.

His son once heard a radio broadcaster say that Minnesota Twins slugger Harmon Killebrew served as his model for the logo. Mr. Dior's response: "That's completely untrue. It's not Harmon Killebrew. It's not anyone in particular."

It's a good read, so check it out.
