Batistas extraordinarily wide-open batting stance made him one of the most recognizable hitters of his era. He also brought legitimate power to the plate, reaching 30 home runs three times during his career. His best power season came with Toronto in 2000, when he established career highs with 41 home runs and 114 RBI and earned his first All-Star selection.

Batista completed his 11-year Major League career with 1,146 hits, 221 home runs and 718 RBI. With its statistics-inspired Box Score presentation, the 2003 Fleer Box Score #47 is an appealing addition for Baltimore Orioles collectors, Tony Batista fans, Fleer Box Score set collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
