I will disagree with the others -- I don't think black electricians tape looks good on a post-war store bat. I would definitely take it off, remove all residue, and then treat the bat with linseed oil or something similar (although in your case, your Robinson bat looks pretty good, it may not need any linseed).
The wood will likely be a different tone under the tape, and you may reveal a crack, but I still think that looks better than tape.
Of course a game bat is an entirely different matter.
