... bats without batting gloves, go!
I'll start off with:
vladimir guerrero
I'm really interested why he doesn't wear batting gloves, wouldn't he get tons of blisters in batting practice?
fun read from wiki:
Guerrero bats without wearing batting gloves, a custom rarely seen in modern baseball. In an interview with Yahoo! Sports, he attributed this to helping his grandfather pull cows home barehanded as a young boy in the Dominican Republic. To improve his grip on the bat, he coats his helmet with pine tar and simply rubs his helmet before going into the on-deck circle. As the season progresses, his batting helmet becomes covered in the substance. This was particularly noticeable with the bright red helmet of the Angels.

Moises Alou wore no batting gloves, and there was a story years ago that he used to pee on his hands because apparently that helped with the blisters. I hope he didn't shake too many hands.

Pretty sure he wears them. Covelli Crisp used to go bare, but has in recent years become a pansy batting-glove wearer.
Jason Kendall (Pirates great, current Royals backstop):
