Send them to Seattle Metro. We have a meeting coming up, and could use some cookies.

Ok. How would you rule if the ball is intentionally put into play by the knob of a bat that has been taped over?

Same as if the ball is put into play if hit off the tape on the handle of the bat, fair or foul, maybe dead, depending upon what happened with the ball.

Mike's point is that while the hands are not part of the bat, the knob is still part of the bat.

However, you'd have to be damn certain that the ball did not touch any part of the player's body (ie. hands, wrists, sleeves, etc.) before you rule the ball live.
