Tony Batista Autographed 2003 Leaf #16 Baltimore Orioles Card

Featuring Tony Batista during his productive run with the Baltimore Orioles, this Tony Batista autographed 2003 Leaf #16 Baltimore Orioles card comes from the long-running Leaf baseball brand. The 2003 release featured a clean, contemporary presentation along with the extensive assortment of inserts and parallels that had become a hallmark of Donruss/Leaf products during the era.

Batista entered 2003 following an American League All-Star season in Baltimore. In 2002, he appeared in 161 games, led the Orioles with 31 home runs and drove in 87 runs, earning the second All-Star selection of his career after previously representing Toronto in 2000.

He continued to be one of Baltimores primary run producers in 2003, again playing 161 games while hitting 26 home runs and driving in 99 runs. It was his highest RBI total during his Orioles tenure. From the time he joined Baltimore during the 2001 season through the end of 2003, Batista accumulated 82 home runs and 273 RBI.

Batistas extraordinarily wide-open batting stance made him instantly recognizable, while his power made him a consistent threat in the middle of the lineup. He reached 30 home runs three times during his career, highlighted by career highs of 41 home runs and 114 RBI with Toronto in 2000. Over 11 Major League seasons, Batista collected 1,146 hits with 221 home runs and 718 RBI.

The 2003 Leaf #16 represents Batista during one of the most productive stretches of his career and is an appealing addition for Baltimore Orioles collectors, Tony Batista fans, Leaf set collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
