And my logic also applies to the bat. The handle looks pretty thick, and therefore it is in the foreground, closer to the viewer. If this batter was a righty, the bat would be in the background, further away from the viewer, and would thus appear thinner/smaller than 'normal.' Again, lefty.

I agree with what you stated before that they designed the logo to view either a righty or lefty. I’ve pretty much seen a righty, but when I try I can see the lefty as well. As you probably are aware Killer used a “pretty thick” bat and he was definitely a righty.

From the link on the first page of this thread:
Creation[edit] According to Dior, the logo was created in a single afternoon. Contrary to popular belief, the silhouette was not modeled on future Hall of Famer Harmon Killebrew,[1] or any specific player[2] but was drawn with reference to photographs of several players.[3] The silhouette was chosen specifically because of its ambiguity: the batter could be right- or left-handed and of any ethnic background.[3]

Growing up I always understood it to have been based on Killebrew, but then sometime later I saw on some MLB blog where supposedly MLB claimed that was not true. I have no idea. Will agree the '60 Mantle AS looks like a plausible candidate.
