Re: Justin Morneau

I hate to jump into this thread but I have a 2004 Morneau Zinger X43 bat with great use and comes with a PSA/DNA,John taube letter. There is no handle tape. Am I to understand that this bat is NG because of the lack of handle taping ????LMK

Ridgeone,
No, you're likely good. However, my Morneau Zinger has his tape job on it. If you want to post pics, I can compare the use characteristics and let you know. I am a big Morneau collector and the more I dig, the more I learn. Justin seems to go through a short time period each year when he doesn't tape. I have a LVS from 2004 without the tape job as well. At Twinsfest this year, they had a MLB authenticated bat from 2008 that was untaped and used on 6/4/08. So, you're likely fine. Again, post pics or email me at dixey2044@msn.com and I'd be glad to help.

Best wishes,
Mike

Re: Justin Morneau

Mike, Thanks for the reply. I dont have the bat in front of me right now but I was concerned about the lack of taping. I also looked at the getty Images from that period and did see him using bats w/o the tape. If you want you can email me directly at rjd840@msn.com. Thanks again
