Hello net54Baseball forum users,
I've recently picked up at set of YMCA c1917 baseball equipment (louisville slugger bat and chest protector). The bat has a taped handle, and wonder if it would be a good idea to remove the tape to make sure that the handle has no cracks (no signs of cracks through the tape). I understand that tape was sometimes used to 'fix' cracks, but also have read that it was also applied to enhance the grip. I would appreciate any thoughts which you would care to share with me on this issue.
I would also be grateful for any ideas you may have on the condition of these pieces, as I am a complete newbie in this field, and am unable to grade them.

Thanks in advance
