Tony Batista Autographed 2001 Fleer Premium #119 Toronto Blue Jays Card

Representing Tony Batista during the height of his power-hitting tenure in Toronto, this Tony Batista autographed 2001 Fleer Premium #119 Toronto Blue Jays card comes from Fleers 2001 Premium release. Card #119 features Batista as an established American League slugger following the most productive offensive season of his Major League career.

Batista was coming off an outstanding 2000 season in which he belted a career-high 41 home runs, drove in a career-best 114 runs and scored 96 times for the Blue Jays. The performance earned him his first American League All-Star selection and established Batista as one of Torontos primary sources of power.

His success with the Blue Jays began almost immediately after arriving from the Arizona Diamondbacks during the 1999 season. Batista hit 26 home runs with 79 RBI in only 98 games for Toronto, finishing the full season with 31 homers and 100 RBI. Over the 1999 and 2000 seasons combined, he launched 72 home runs.

Batista became one of baseballs most recognizable hitters thanks to his extraordinarily wide-open batting stance. He later earned his second MLB All-Star selection with the Baltimore Orioles in 2002 and continued to produce home-run power during stops with several clubs.

Over an 11-year Major League career, Batista accumulated 1,146 hits, 221 home runs and 718 RBI. The 2001 Fleer Premium #119 represents him during his peak Toronto period and is an appealing addition for Blue Jays collectors, Tony Batista fans, Fleer Premium collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
