Batista entered 2000 after a breakout season split between Arizona and Toronto. Following his move to the Blue Jays in 1999, he quickly emerged as a major power threat, hitting 26 home runs with 79 RBI in only 98 games for Toronto and finishing the season 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 41 home runs placed him among the American Leagues leading sluggers.

Batistas extraordinarily wide-open batting stance made him instantly recognizable at the plate, while his home run production made him one of Torontos key offensive threats. He later earned a second All-Star selection with the Baltimore Orioles in 2002.

Batista finished his 11-year Major League career with 1,146 hits, 221 home runs and 718 RBI. Combining Batistas career-best season with Crown Royales unmistakable die-cut presentation, the 2000 Pacific Crown Royale #141 is an excellent addition for Toronto Blue Jays collectors, Tony Batista fans, Crown Royale collectors, die-cut card collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
