Add a distinctive Donruss Elite issue from Tony Batistas peak power-hitting years with this Tony Batista autographed 2001 Donruss Elite #69 Toronto Blue Jays card. Donruss Elite returned to baseball in 2001 with a polished, foil-driven presentation, giving #69 a noticeably different appearance from Batistas standard Donruss issue.

Batista entered 2001 following the finest offensive season of his Major League career. In 2000, 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 capped a two-year stretch in which he combined for 72 homers and 214 RBI.

His success with Toronto began almost immediately after joining the club from the Arizona Diamondbacks during the 1999 season. In only 98 games with the Blue Jays, Batista hit 26 home runs with 79 RBI, finishing the full season with 31 home runs and 100 RBI.

Batista was one of baseballs most recognizable hitters thanks to his extraordinarily wide-open batting stance. He later earned his second All-Star selection with the Baltimore Orioles in 2002 and remained a significant home run threat throughout much of his 11-year Major League career.

Batista finished his MLB career with 1,146 hits, 221 home runs and 718 RBI. Combining the distinctive Donruss Elite presentation with Batistas peak Toronto period, the 2001 Donruss Elite #69 is an excellent addition for Toronto Blue Jays collectors, Tony Batista fans, Donruss Elite collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
