Tony Batista Autographed 1999 Pacific #14 Arizona Diamondbacks Card
Add an Arizona Diamondbacks issue from Tony Batistas breakout season with this Tony Batista autographed 1999 Pacific #14 Arizona Diamondbacks card. Pacific produced some of the hobbys most distinctive baseball products during the late 1990s, and card #14 features Batista during his second season with Arizona and at the beginning of the year that established him as a legitimate Major League power hitter.
Batista began the 1999 season with the Diamondbacks, appearing in 44 games with five home runs and 21 RBI before moving to the Toronto Blue Jays in June. The change of scenery helped ignite his offense, as Batista hit 26 additional home runs with Toronto and quickly established himself as a major part of the Blue Jays lineup.
Combined between Arizona and Toronto, Batista finished his breakout 1999 campaign batting .277 with 31 home runs and 100 RBI. He followed that performance with an even bigger season in 2000, belting a career-high 41 home runs with 114 RBI and earning his first American League All-Star selection.
Batista went on to become a two-time MLB All-Star and finished his Major League career with 1,146 hits, 221 home runs and 718 RBI. The 1999 Pacific #14 captures Batista at an important point in his development and is an excellent addition for Arizona Diamondbacks collectors, Tony Batista fans, Pacific set collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
