What's this?

Minnesota Twins at Metropolitan Stadium in '67 or '68

Harmon Killebrew, Rod Carew, Cesar Tovar and Tony Oliva. Those are the players I can remember w/o google.

I remember getting permission (as a 7 or 8 year old) to go to the top level by myself to see if I could see our car in the parking lot. I got lost coming back and started to panic until my dad found me. Wouldn't think of letting a 7 or 8 year old get out of my sight in today's world....
