Re: Posada Tape Job Help... Not Criss-cross...confused
That first bat in the post, I would have doubts on Posada having used it. However, I do have a Posada that matches those Getty images with the black bat. While you can't see it in those photos because of the distance, at least on the bat I have, Posada's normal crisscross tape job using thin tape was applied and then was covered with a layer of wider tape over the whole thing. While I don't think he did it very long, he definitely did it as the Getty images show. Here's the tape on mine....Comment

I can see the criss cross pattern under the tape as well. If you look at the handle picture the spyral pattern under the tape is clearly visibleComment

Yeap the criss-cross pops through the outer tape. That sounds great, i took a shot in the dark and hit! when i picked this bat up i bought it thinking it was possible but unlikely because of the tape but i guess its true in this case to do some homework because just like the lottery slogan states "hey......ya never know"Comment
