Tony Batista Autographed 2000 Metal - Emerald #184 Toronto Blue Jays Card

Add a colorful parallel from Tony Batistas peak power-hitting years with this Tony Batista autographed 2000 Metal - Emerald #184 Toronto Blue Jays card. The Emerald version parallels Batistas regular #184 card from the 2000 Metal set, giving collectors a distinctive variation of the already unconventional Metal design.

Batista entered 2000 after a breakout 1999 campaign split between Arizona and Toronto. After joining the Blue Jays during the season, he hit 26 home runs with 79 RBI in only 98 games for Toronto, finishing the year with 31 homers and 100 RBI overall.

His production climbed even higher in 2000, when Batista delivered the finest offensive season of his Major League career. He established career highs with 41 home runs and 114 RBI, scored 96 runs and earned his first American League All-Star selection. His power made him one of the key run producers in a formidable Toronto lineup.

Batista became one of baseballs most recognizable hitters thanks to his extraordinarily wide-open batting stance. He later earned a second All-Star selection with the Baltimore Orioles in 2002 and finished his 11-year Major League career with 1,146 hits, 221 home runs and 718 RBI.

Combining the distinctive Metal aesthetic with the added appeal of the Emerald parallel, the 2000 Metal #184 is an excellent addition for Toronto Blue Jays collectors, Tony Batista fans, parallel collectors, Metal set collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
