This bat is signed as a 2 home run bat by Cabrera. The attached pics shows him hitting one of the 2 home runs in question. The bat in the below pics clearly shows tape. Is it possible that the tape was removed and then the bat was used without tape after the fact? Possibly, but one would think there would be some residue.
