I always thought it was Killebrew, but I was an impressionable Minnesota kid who saw him bat so many times it may have just seemed logical.
Harmon had a classic but somewhat distinct batting pose, with the shoulder and elbow generally kept a bit high and the chin tucked into the sleeve/logo area when early in the AB. The logo seemed to capture that to me. The only player who I've seen bat like that since was Matt Williams.
