Tony Batista Autographed 2001 Fleer Futures #84 Toronto Blue Jays CardAdd a distinctive Fleer issue from Tony Batistas peak power-hitting period with this Tony Batista autographed 2001 Fleer Futures #84 Toronto Blue Jays card. The Fleer Futures brand blended established Major League players with the prospect-oriented theme reflected in the products name, with #84 featuring Batista during his tenure as one of Torontos primary power threats.

This card was issued on the heels of Batistas outstanding 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.

Batista made an immediate impact after joining Toronto from the Arizona Diamondbacks during the 1999 season. In just 98 games with the Blue Jays, he hit 26 home runs and drove in 79 runs, finishing the full season with 31 homers and 100 RBI.

One of baseballs most recognizable hitters because of his extraordinarily wide-open batting stance, Batista later earned his second All-Star selection with the Baltimore Orioles in 2002. His power remained a defining part of his game throughout an 11-year Major League career.

Batista finished his MLB career with 1,146 hits, 221 home runs and 718 RBI. The 2001 Fleer Futures #84 offers a distinctive representation of Batista during his peak Toronto period and is an excellent addition for Blue Jays collectors, Tony Batista fans, Fleer Futures set collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
