Batista began the 1999 season with the Diamondbacks, appearing in 44 games with five home runs and 21 RBI before joining the Toronto Blue Jays in June. His move to Toronto proved to be a major turning point, as Batista added 26 home runs and 79 RBI in 98 games with the Blue Jays.

Batista went on to become a two-time MLB All-Star and established himself as one of the eras notable power-hitting infielders, finishing his Major League career with 1,146 hits, 221 home runs and 718 RBI. The distinctive design and connection to Batistas breakout season make the 1999 SkyBox Thunder #182 an excellent addition for Arizona Diamondbacks collectors, Tony Batista fans, SkyBox collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
