Tony Batista Autographed 2001 Bowman #52 Toronto Blue Jays Card

Add a Bowman issue from Tony Batistas power-hitting years in Toronto with this Tony Batista autographed 2001 Bowman #52 Toronto Blue Jays card. The 2001 Bowman release combines the brands prospect-focused identity with established Major League players, with #52 featuring Batista following the most productive offensive season of his career.

Batista entered 2001 after an outstanding 2000 campaign with the Blue Jays. 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 homers placed him among the leagues leading power hitters and capped a two-season stretch in which he hit 72 home runs.

Batista had made an immediate impact 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 with 79 RBI, finishing the full season with 31 homers and 100 RBI.

Known for his extraordinarily wide-open batting stance, Batista became one of the most recognizable power hitters of his era. He later earned a second All-Star selection with the Baltimore Orioles in 2002 and continued to produce home runs 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. The 2001 Bowman #52 represents him following his career-best season and is an excellent addition for Toronto Blue Jays collectors, Tony Batista fans, Bowman set collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
