    Re: AROD bat usage

    I'm not really sure you can call that a bat without tape. Posada doesn't usually have the tape going up the barrel (O'Neill style).
    His usually only covers where his hands would go.

        Tom you are correct but if you carefully look at the picture his hands at that particular at bat are lower then normal where his bottom hand is right over the knob. Which then you would see some evidence sticking out tape and or some pine tar which you don't see.


        But I have seen him in games on TV where I didn't see him using tape.

            I am sure Posada has used a bat in a game with no tape. But, as a buyer I would feel more confident buying one with tape.

            I broke out the tape measure. On the Posada bat with the least amount of tape, it is 5.5 inches. This is about a hand and then a little bit of the top hand when gripped.

            I think we need to give Jorge a call. Someone get him on the phone in Tampa.

                Well someone hit baseballs with this bat... Maybe it was the bat boy...

                So I have a Posada bat that is hammered with use and no one player defining characteristics. Maybe I'll just call it my phantom Yankees game used bat.

                    I agree with Tom. I have never seen a legit Posada without tape. And I have never seen him with a bat without tape. Not saying its not possible, but until I see definite proof, I wouldnt touch a Posada gamer without tape. However, I have seen a few Posada's with tape just around the handle near the knob (no criss-cross), that looked like they were good.

                    Also, he only tapes high enough where his hands cover the tape. In that one WS photo, there appears to be tape on the handle, its just clean because he didnt get a chance to tar it up.

                    Someone needs to have a talk with Jorge and clear this up

                        I have yet to see a Posada gamer without tape. He tars so heavily that the tape becomes obscured sometimes.
