Featuring Tony Batista in a release built around the personalities and intensity of Major League players, this Tony Batista autographed 2003 Upper Deck Game Face #15 Baltimore Orioles card comes from Upper Decks distinctive Game Face baseball product. The set used bold, player-focused imagery and a modern presentation to give the release a different identity from Upper Decks traditional flagship cards.

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 a fixture in Baltimores lineup during 2003, once again playing 161 games. Batista hit 26 home runs and drove in 99 runs, his highest RBI total during his Orioles tenure. Across his first three seasons in Baltimore from 2001 through 2003, he accumulated 82 home runs and 273 RBI.

Few players of the era were more visually recognizable at the plate. Batista employed an extraordinarily wide-open batting stance that became his trademark, and he backed the unusual approach with considerable power. He recorded three seasons with at least 30 home runs, including career highs of 41 home runs and 114 RBI with Toronto in 2000.

Batista completed his 11-year Major League career with 1,146 hits, 221 home runs and 718 RBI. With the player-focused presentation associated with Upper Deck Game Face, the 2003 Upper Deck Game Face #15 is a distinctive addition for Baltimore Orioles collectors, Tony Batista fans, Game Face set collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
