Tony Batista Autographed 2002 Fleer Ultra #200 Baltimore Orioles Card

Featuring Tony Batista during his All-Star season in Baltimore, this Tony Batista autographed 2002 Fleer Ultra #200 Baltimore Orioles card comes from Fleers long-running Ultra brand. Known for its glossy presentation and photography-driven designs, Ultra offered collectors a polished alternative to traditional flagship releases and remained a popular part of Fleers baseball lineup during the early 2000s.

Batista had joined Baltimore after being claimed off waivers from the Toronto Blue Jays in June 2001 and immediately became one of the Orioles primary run producers. In only 72 games with Baltimore in 2001, he hit 25 home runs and drove in 87 runs, quickly establishing himself as a major power threat in the middle of the lineup.

He followed with another strong performance in 2002, appearing in 161 games and leading Baltimore with 31 home runs while driving in 87 runs. Batistas performance earned him selection to the American League All-Star team, his second career All-Star appearance after representing Toronto in 2000.

Batista was one of the most visually recognizable hitters of his era because of his extraordinarily wide-open batting stance. The unconventional setup produced plenty of power, as he reached 30 home runs three times during his career. His best season came with Toronto in 2000, when he established career highs with 41 home runs and 114 RBI. Batista finished his 11-year Major League career with 1,146 hits, 221 home runs and 718 RBI.

With its glossy Ultra presentation and connection to Batistas 2002 All-Star campaign, the 2002 Fleer Ultra #200 is an appealing addition for Baltimore Orioles collectors, Tony Batista fans, Fleer Ultra set collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
