Add a distinctive Pacific issue from Tony Batistas peak power-hitting years with this Tony Batista autographed 2000 Pacific Invincible #147 Toronto Blue Jays card. The Invincible release stood apart from Pacifics standard baseball products with an elaborate, design-focused presentation, making #147 an eye-catching Batista issue from his Toronto tenure.

Batista had emerged as a significant power threat after joining Toronto from the Arizona Diamondbacks during the 1999 season. In just 98 games with the Blue Jays that year, he hit 26 home runs and drove in 79 runs, finishing the full season with 31 homers and 100 RBI.

The 2000 season was the offensive high point of Batistas 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 ranked among the top totals in the American League and helped make him one of the primary power hitters in Torontos lineup.

Batista was also instantly recognizable because of his extraordinarily wide-open batting stance. His combination of an unconventional approach and legitimate home run power made him one of baseballs more memorable hitters of the era. He later earned his 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. With its distinctive Invincible design and connection to Batistas career-best season, the 2000 Pacific Invincible #147 is an excellent addition for Toronto Blue Jays collectors, Tony Batista fans, Pacific Invincible collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
