Tony Batista Autographed 2000 Topps Limited Edition #439 Toronto Blue Jays Card

Add a special factory-set version of Tony Batistas flagship Topps card with this Tony Batista autographed 2000 Topps Limited Edition #439 Toronto Blue Jays card. The Limited Edition release parallels the regular 2000 Topps set but was issued as a special factory set, giving collectors a distinct version of Batistas familiar #439 Toronto card.

Batista joined the Blue Jays from the Arizona Diamondbacks during the 1999 season and quickly established himself as a major power threat. In only 98 games with Toronto, he hit 26 home runs with 79 RBI, finishing the full season with 31 home runs and 100 RBI between Arizona and Toronto.

The 2000 season became 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 placed him among the leagues leading sluggers and made him one of the primary power hitters in Torontos lineup.

Batista was also instantly recognizable because of his extraordinarily wide-open batting stance. He later earned his second All-Star selection with the Baltimore Orioles in 2002 and continued to provide home run power during an 11-year Major League career.

Batista finished his MLB career with 1,146 hits, 221 home runs and 718 RBI. Combining the classic 2000 Topps design with the added appeal of the Limited Edition factory-set release, the 2000 Topps Limited Edition #439 is an excellent addition for Toronto Blue Jays collectors, Tony Batista fans, Topps variation collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
