Add an early-2000s Fleer issue from Tony Batistas Toronto Blue Jays tenure with this Tony Batista autographed 2001 Fleer Focus #11 Toronto Blue Jays card. Fleer Focus combined contemporary design elements with a broad Major League checklist, with #11 featuring Batista following the most productive power-hitting season of his career.
Batista entered 2001 after an outstanding 2000 season with Toronto. 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 leagues leading totals and capped a two-year stretch in which he combined for 72 homers and 214 RBI.
Batistas success in Toronto began almost immediately after arriving 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 home runs 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 as a member of the Baltimore Orioles in 2002 and remained a significant power 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. The 2001 Fleer Focus #11 represents him during his peak Toronto period and is an excellent addition for Blue Jays collectors, Tony Batista fans, Fleer Focus set collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
