Tony Batista Autographed 1997 Circa #95 Oakland Athletics Card
Add an early-career signed card of future two-time All-Star Tony Batista with this Tony Batista autographed 1997 Circa #95 Oakland Athletics card. Produced by Fleer/SkyBox, the Circa release was known for the bold, contemporary designs that distinguished the brand from more traditional baseball sets of the era. Card #95 features Batista as a member of the Oakland Athletics.
Batista entered the 1997 season as Oaklands Opening Day shortstop after an impressive rookie campaign the previous year. He appeared in 68 games for the Athletics, collecting 38 hits, 10 doubles, four home runs and 18 RBI while making 54 starts at shortstop. He also spent time with Triple-A Edmonton, where he batted .315 in 33 games and later contributed two hits and two RBI in the game that clinched the Pacific Coast League championship.
Batista eventually developed into one of baseballs notable power-hitting infielders. He became a two-time MLB All-Star and enjoyed his biggest power season with Toronto in 2000, when he belted 41 home runs. Batista finished his Major League career with 1,146 hits, 221 home runs and 718 RBI.
The 1997 Circa #95 is an excellent addition for Oakland Athletics collectors, Tony Batista fans, Circa collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
