Batista entered 2003 after representing Baltimore in the 2002 American League All-Star Game. He had appeared in 161 games that season, leading the Orioles with 31 home runs while driving in 87 runs. It was his second career All-Star selection after previously representing the Toronto Blue Jays in 2000.

He remained a dependable source of power and run production during 2003, again appearing in 161 games for Baltimore. Batista hit 26 home runs and drove in 99 runs, his highest RBI total during his Orioles tenure. Over his first three seasons in Baltimore from 2001 through 2003, he accumulated 82 home runs and 273 RBI.

Batista was one of the most recognizable hitters of his era thanks to his extraordinarily wide-open batting stance. His unconventional setup was backed by substantial power, as he reached the 30-home-run mark three times. His biggest offensive season came with Toronto in 2000, when he established career highs with 41 home runs and 114 RBI.

The two-time American League All-Star finished his 11-year Major League career with 1,146 hits, 221 home runs and 718 RBI. The 2003 Fleer Focus Jersey Edition #113 provides a distinctive early-2000s issue for Baltimore Orioles collectors, Tony Batista fans, Fleer Focus collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
