Tony Batista Autographed 1999 Upper Deck #306 Arizona Diamondbacks Card
Add a flagship Upper Deck issue from Tony Batistas breakout season with this Tony Batista autographed 1999 Upper Deck #306 Arizona Diamondbacks card. Upper Decks photography-focused presentation captures Batista during his second season with Arizona and just before a midseason move to Toronto helped launch the most productive offensive stretch of his Major League career.
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 offense surged after the move, as Batista added 26 home runs and 79 RBI in 98 games for Toronto.
Combined between Arizona and Toronto, Batista finished his breakout 1999 campaign batting .277 with 31 home runs and 100 RBI. That performance established him as a legitimate power-hitting infielder and set the stage for an even bigger 2000 season, when he blasted a career-high 41 home runs with 114 RBI and earned 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 Upper Deck #306 captures Batista at an important point in his development and is an excellent addition for Arizona Diamondbacks collectors, Tony Batista fans, Upper Deck set collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
