Tony Batista Autographed 2004 Fleer Platinum #93 Montreal Expos Card

Pairing Tony Batista with Fleers nostalgia-driven Platinum brand, this Tony Batista autographed 2004 Fleer Platinum #93 Montreal Expos card features the veteran power hitter during his only season in Montreal. Fleer Platinum was designed with a retro influence, giving contemporary Major League players an old-school presentation that distinguished the product from many of Fleers more modern-looking releases of the era.

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

He delivered one of his most productive seasons in 2004, appearing in 157 games while hitting 32 home runs and driving in a career-high 110 runs. It marked the third 30-home-run season of Batistas career and his highest home run total since his 41-homer campaign with Toronto in 2000.

The card also represents an important season in franchise history. The 2004 campaign was the final season of the Montreal Expos, ending a Major League run in the city that began in 1969 before the franchise relocated to Washington for 2005. Batista was one of the clubs primary run producers during that final year.

Known for his extraordinarily wide-open batting stance, Batista earned two American League All-Star selections and finished his 11-year Major League career with 1,146 hits, 221 home runs and 718 RBI. With its retro-influenced Fleer Platinum presentation and connection to Montreals final season, the 2004 Fleer Platinum #93 is an appealing addition for Expos collectors, Tony Batista fans, Fleer Platinum set collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
