Answer #19 Johnnie LeMaster of the SF Giants in July of 1979. The Giants were playing poorly and the unhappy fans had taken to booing the team with regularity...so LeMaster took the field wearing the letters "BOO" on his uniform back. It was just a one game deal.
A couple of you put June 17th, 1979. If you could show me a source, I may accept it.
