Featuring Tony Batista with his new club for the 2004 season, this Tony Batista autographed 2004 Donruss Team Heroes #54 Montreal Expos card captures the veteran power hitter during the final year of Major League Baseball in Montreal. Donruss Team Heroes was a team-oriented release that combined contemporary players with established stars and notable names from throughout each franchises history.

Batista joined Montreal as a free agent after spending parts of three productive seasons with the Baltimore Orioles. He arrived following a 2003 campaign in which he hit 26 home runs and drove in 99 runs, giving the Expos an established power hitter for the middle of their lineup.

He responded with one of the strongest run-producing seasons of his career. Batista appeared in 157 games for the 2004 Expos, hitting 32 home runs and establishing a career high with 110 RBI. It was the third 30-home-run season of his career and his highest home run total since hitting 41 for Toronto in 2000.

Batistas season also became part of an important chapter in baseball history. The 2004 Expos were the final Major League team to represent Montreal before the franchise relocated to Washington for the following season. Batista finished that final year as one of the clubs leading power hitters and run producers.

Known for his extraordinarily wide-open batting stance, Batista earned two American League All-Star selections during his 11-year Major League career and finished with 1,146 hits, 221 home runs and 718 RBI. Combining Donruss team-focused concept with Batistas final-season connection to Montreal, the 2004 Donruss Team Heroes #54 is an appealing addition for Expos collectors, Tony Batista fans, Team Heroes set collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
