Tony Batista Autographed 2003 Upper Deck 40-Man #762 Baltimore Orioles Card
Offering a second Tony Batista card within Upper Decks enormous 2003 40-Man checklist, this Tony Batista autographed 2003 Upper Deck 40-Man #762 Baltimore Orioles card provides Orioles and player collectors with another distinct issue from the roster-focused series. Upper Deck 40-Man was built around an unusually expansive checklist, allowing the product to include multiple cards and specialized subjects beyond what collectors typically found in a standard flagship set.
Batista entered 2003 following an American League All-Star season with 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 remained one of Baltimores primary run producers during 2003, once again appearing in 161 games. Batista hit 26 home runs and drove in 99 runs, his highest RBI total during his Orioles tenure. From his arrival in Baltimore during the 2001 season through the end of 2003, he accumulated 82 home runs and 273 RBI.
Batistas extraordinarily wide-open batting stance made him one of the most recognizable hitters of his era. He combined that unconventional setup with considerable power, recording three seasons with at least 30 home runs. His career highs came with Toronto in 2000, when he hit 41 home runs and drove in 114 runs while earning his first American League All-Star selection.
The two-time All-Star completed his 11-year Major League career with 1,146 hits, 221 home runs and 718 RBI. As a separate Batista entry from his #159 card in the same expansive release, the 2003 Upper Deck 40-Man #762 is an appealing addition for Baltimore Orioles collectors, Tony Batista fans, 40-Man set builders or collectors pursuing his extensive selection of autographed cards.
