I'm trying to determine if this ticket stub is to the July 25, 1971 game where Harmon Killebrew hit HR #499. According to baseball-reference.com the game was played on July 25 in Metropolitian Stadium (Minnesota) vs the Boston Red Sox and it was the Twins 49th home game. The ticket doesn't reference a location, but it does indicate that it was to a game played on 7/25/71 and it was game number 49. Can anyone familiar with early 70's Twins tickets confirm that this was the game that Killebrew hit #499?

    Thats a Shea Stadium ticket for the New York Mets (and their mascot "Mr. Met")

    On July 25, 1971, not much happened in the Mets game. The Mets beat the Astros 7-6 with Gary Gentry beating Ken Forsch. Joe Morgan and Cleon Jones hit HRs.

    Thanks guys...I knew that I saw the mascot before, but couldn't place him as Mr. Met.
