I purchased a Mike Napoli bat this past weekend. It was listed as "team issued", but has pine tar all over the handle, and also has red Lizard Skin wrap on the handle. I am assuming it was game used, but could not be proven at the time it was give to the shop. The barrel and handle both are MLB authenticated.
I would love to be able to photo match this, but have really no idea where to start, since it doesn't have any date on it. Does anybody know when he started using red wrap on his handles? I have seen pictures this year of his bats without the wrap. I also saw a game used one with the same wrap that was purchased just before I bought mine.
I know it is from this season, since it was purchased in the Yawkey Way store. Any help with a starting point would be greatly appreciated.
