Add an eye-catching Pacific issue from the height of Tony Batistas Toronto Blue Jays career with this Tony Batista autographed 2000 Pacific Prism #146 Toronto Blue Jays card. Pacific Prism was built around a highly reflective, metallic-style presentation, giving #146 a distinctive look among Batistas numerous cards from the 2000 season.
Batista joined Toronto from the Arizona Diamondbacks during the 1999 season and quickly established himself as a major power threat. In just 98 games with the Blue Jays, he hit 26 home runs with 79 RBI, finishing the full season with 31 homers and 100 RBI.
The 2000 season became Batistas career year at the plate. He established personal 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 leagues leading totals and made him one of the key power hitters in Torontos lineup.
Batista was one of the most recognizable hitters of his era thanks to his extraordinarily wide-open batting stance. He later earned a second All-Star selection with the Baltimore Orioles in 2002 and remained a dangerous home run hitter throughout much of his Major League career.
Batista finished his 11-year MLB career with 1,146 hits, 221 home runs and 718 RBI. Combining the reflective Prism presentation with Batistas career-best offensive season, the 2000 Pacific Prism #146 is an excellent addition for Toronto Blue Jays collectors, Tony Batista fans, Pacific Prism collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
