Tony Batista Autographed 2004 SkyBox LE #11 Montreal Expos Card

Featuring Tony Batista during his only season with Montreal, this Tony Batista autographed 2004 SkyBox LE #11 Montreal Expos card comes from SkyBoxs distinctive LE baseball release. The product used a polished, contemporary presentation characteristic of many of SkyBoxs early-2000s offerings, providing another unique card of Batista from the final chapter of Montreal Expos history.

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 campaign in which he hit 26 home runs and drove in 99 runs, giving the Expos an established middle-of-the-order power hitter.

Batista responded with one of the strongest run-producing seasons of his career. Appearing in 157 games in 2004, he hit 32 home runs and established a career high with 110 RBI. It was the third 30-home-run season of his career, joining his 41-homer campaign with Toronto in 2000 and 31-home-run season with Baltimore in 2002.

His season in Montreal also became part of baseball history. The 2004 campaign was the final season of the Montreal Expos, concluding the franchises 36-year run in Canada before its relocation to Washington. Batista was one of the clubs primary power hitters during that final year.

Known for his extraordinarily wide-open batting stance, Batista earned two American League All-Star selections and completed his 11-year Major League career with 1,146 hits, 221 home runs and 718 RBI. With its SkyBox LE presentation and connection to Batistas productive season on the final Expos club, the 2004 SkyBox LE #11 is an appealing addition for Montreal collectors, Tony Batista fans, SkyBox collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
