Best Answer

Bob Montgomery.

Montgomery was a catcher for the Boston Red Sox between 1970-1979. The rule making helmets mandatory was made in 1971. Those players that played on an MLB roster prior to 1971 were not made to wear a helmet while batting if they chose not to do so. Montgomery didn't and played his entire career without wearing one.

Montgomery's last plate appearance came on September 8, 1979 in a game against the Baltimore Orioles.
