As mentioned earlier, attached are pictures of a Adirondack Gary Roenicke gamer with an identical tape job.

Not that it matters, but according to Retrosheet, Cal did not bat in the sixth inning of that contest vs. Kansas City (he flied out to end the fifth).

Re: Cal Ripken Jr. game used bat question

I e-mailed the seller this morning and asked the following question:

The knob area where the number 8 is marked in black ink, it appears that another number was on there, appears to be a 3, was this how the bat was originally obtained or did someone change it?

Let me know and thanks for the photos!

That's the way it came. I can't account for much more than that.
