Posada Tape Job Help... Not Criss-cross...confused
Hey guys i recently picked up this posada bat and the tape job is weird. I have only known posada to use a criss-cross style taping job. Anybody know if he ever used this kind of tape on his bats? please help

Defintiely not used by Posada and the coloring og the wood on the bat looks a bit odd.
When or what year is the bat supposed to be from?

Wow than thats an absolute first I ever seen Posada have a tape job like that. Makes me wonder if maybe he had someone else do it for him? Or if that black bat was his?

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....

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 visible
