Add one of the more visually elaborate Tony Batista issues from his peak Toronto years with this Tony Batista autographed 2000 Pacific Revolution #146 Toronto Blue Jays card. Pacific Revolution was known for its bold, highly detailed designs and reflective presentation, giving #146 a distinctive appearance among Batistas many cards from the 2000 season.
Batista joined the Blue Jays from the Arizona Diamondbacks during the 1999 season and immediately supplied Toronto with additional power. In only 98 games with the Blue Jays, he hit 26 home runs with 79 RBI, finishing the full season with 31 home runs 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 establish Batista as one of the leagues most dangerous power hitters.
Batista was also instantly recognizable at the plate because of his extraordinarily wide-open batting stance. He later earned a second All-Star selection with the Baltimore Orioles in 2002 and continued to provide home run power during stops with Montreal, Washington and Minnesota.
Batista finished his 11-year Major League career with 1,146 hits, 221 home runs and 718 RBI. Combining Pacific Revolutions unmistakable design with Batistas career-best season, the 2000 Pacific Revolution #146 is an excellent addition for Toronto Blue Jays collectors, Tony Batista fans, Pacific Revolution collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
