Tony Batista Autographed 2001 Donruss Studio #86 Toronto Blue Jays Card

Add a distinctive portrait-style issue from Tony Batistas Toronto Blue Jays tenure with this Tony Batista autographed 2001 Donruss Studio #86 Toronto Blue Jays card. Studio had long distinguished itself from traditional action-oriented baseball sets through its emphasis on player-focused photography and design, giving #86 a different presentation from many of Batistas other cards of the period.

The card was issued following Batistas tremendous 2000 season, when 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.

Batistas emergence as a major power hitter began almost immediately after joining Toronto from the Arizona Diamondbacks during the 1999 season. In only 98 games with the Blue Jays, 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 was one of the most recognizable hitters of his era. He later earned his second All-Star selection with the Baltimore Orioles in 2002 and remained a significant home run threat during an 11-year Major League career.

Batista finished his MLB career with 1,146 hits, 221 home runs and 718 RBI. Combining Studios distinctive presentation with Batistas peak Toronto years, the 2001 Donruss Studio #86 is an excellent addition for Toronto Blue Jays collectors, Tony Batista fans, Studio set collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
