Kirby Puckett won Game 6 of the 1991 World Series, perhaps the greatest Fall Classic ever played, with a dramatic 11th inning home run. The hit is legendary. The fan who caught the ball, Joe Reis, is well-documented. Even the blue seat itself, Seat 27, Row 5, Section 101, got a makeover. A replacement seat, a gold replica, was unveiled in left-center field May of 1997 so future Metrodome-goers had a point of reference. So what happened to the original seat?
After years in storage, it’s the centerpiece of an exhibit opening Tuesday. Located in Target Field’s Digital Clubhouse in the U.S. Bank Home Run Porch in left field, the exhibit is open for fans throughout the stadium to visit. Fun to have the original seat where Kirby Puckett's famed '91 World Series HR landed now on display at Target Field. — Dave St. Peter (@TwinsPrez) July 26, 2016 “It certainly tells a cool story,” said Dustin Morse, the Twins’ Senior Director of Communications. “And this is a fun time to launch the exhibit.” Fittingly, the Atlanta Braves, the team Minnesota edged in the 1991 Series, is the opponent Tuesday and Wednesday. More than just featuring a hunk of plastic, the exhibit allows fans to hear one of four home run calls: national broadcasters Jack Buck and Vin Scully, former Twins broadcaster John Gordon and a Spanish media outlet. A reading rail gives fans information on Reis, who returned the ball to Puckett. After the 1997 ceremony, the blue seat and back went into a file cabinet in the office belonging to Matt Hoy, Twins senior vice president of operations.
The gold seat remained in the Metrodome until its destruction. “This is a true story: We asked for the gold seat and the stadium commission refused to give it to us,” team President Dave St. Peter said. Displaying the original at Target Field, which opened in 2010, was always the plan, St. Peter said. Sitting in the seat is not permitted but fans are welcome to take a photo standing next to the seat. If you were there in the 11th inning in 1991, you certainly wouldn’t have been sitting anyway.

Indoor/Outdoor Fabric makes them great for the boys! Beanbag Chair by Majestic Home Pet at GiltWhen people think about affordable design, Ikea is often the first thing that comes to mind. You have other options, though! Target has been incredibly successful with its “design for all” campaign, rolling out numerous designer collaborations (think Nate Berkus and Missoni Home), while continuing to refine internal brands like Threshold. One of the big trends that Target has done a great job of making accessible is mid century modern design. The term is broadly used to describe a certain aesthetic used in architecture, furniture, style, and design between the 1940s through 1960s. The actual phrase “mid century modern” was not coined until the 1980s, though, when mid century modern design began experiencing a revival, and the fervor has not let down. You know a mid century modern piece when you see it. Simply put, it’s the Mad Men set. Below are some interiors featured from the time in House Beautiful magazine.
But the mid century modern aesthetic remains popular and easily fits in with our modern look and lifestyles, in large part because it is characterized by uncomplicated, clean, sculptural lines. The furniture in this style is often stripped to the bare essentials and merges form and function. While the piece is still beautiful, it is not excessive in detail or decoration. And although a lot of wood is used in mid century modern furniture, new materials like plastic were also being incorporated, creating a fresh contrast between new and old, organic and man-made. Here are some beautiful modern spaces from Pinterest. Because mid century modern is still very relevant today, you’ve probably heard some of the big designer names like Eames, Noguchi, Eichler, Saarinen, George Nelson, and Herman Miller. The quality of these original, reissue, or reproduction items cannot be beat. But you don’t need to spend the big bucks to get the look. I’ve curated 24 mid century modern items under $200 from Target.
Below are my quick tips on how and why to use these pieces. I’d love to hear from you and talk about styling questions you might have!

Check the Target website for more details. It doesn’t get anymore mid century modern than this: a wood piece with classic, clean lines and tapered legs. And it’s the perfect size for a small dining area. These are the iconic chairs that go around that dining table. Inspired by the Eames Dowel-Leg Side Chair, which will set you back around $450 for ONE genuine reproduction chair, this is a steal! It comes in a variety of colors. These are the same chairs but with armrests. Don’t be afraid to mix and match them with the Paris Dining Chair – either by style (armrests, no armrests) or color.
You can use this as a side chair in the living room or bedroom. Now that you’ve got that dining area set, let’s talk storage. This handsome, versatile piece can be used as a server (i.e., where you store your plates, bowls, etc. and then lay out dinner on top) or a bar. You could also use it as a media console in the living room. Here’s another great piece that can multi-task. Just because someone calls it a bookcase doesn’t mean you have to use it as a bookcase. It could be a media console or a sideboard (same idea as a server, but larger). Showcasing your dining ware and barware is trendy. Get comfy the way Don Draper did. With a modern twist, this armchair will withstand the test of time. Available in four colors, my picks are the Navy and Roma Sage (shown here). If you want to fully embrace the Mad Men vibe, this chair does it all with the low armrest, angled back, tapered wooden legs, tufted fabric (the way the buttons create a pattern), and orange color.
Like the look, but thrown off by the color? Not to worry, it comes in a more muted olive-grey, too. Put your feet up on this classic ottoman. Heck grab two and place them around the living room or near the fireplace and use them as stools that take up less space for bigger gatherings! Speaking of stools, this is one of my favorites. Control Brand is a company that creates mid century inspired furniture. This streamlined stool is sold elsewhere, but at this moment, Target has the best price. Benches add a great touch to any room. Use them in an entryway, a hallway, in the living room, or at the foot of a bed. This one comes in two neutral colors, a silver-grey (pictured here) and a blue that matches the ottoman featured above. This bench has the added bonus of storage. Perfect for putting shoes, grocery bags, or other things out of sight. Work doesn’t feel like work when you’re inspired by the spaces around you. This sleek table will help you get in the right mindset.
Put this time-honored lamp on top of that work table (or side table or nightstand) and you can’t go wrong. Table lamps are one of those things that you always need a couple of. This one has a three- dimensional appeal and comes in different wood colors to match your existing furniture. Your tables are set on lighting, but you still need floor lamps. Here’s a basic version that’s a bang for your buck. Want to take to the next level? I love this elegant two-toned floor lamp. It also comes in black. If you’re ready for to put the pedal to the metal, then this floor lamp fits the bill. It even comes with a bulb! This piece acts as side table for the living room or a night table for the bedroom. The drawer allows you to put things away for organized living. If you need more storage, then this piece has a drawer plus shelf. Mid century modern design wasn’t just about furniture. It was an entire aesthetic that shaped decor, too.
This planter embodies the look of the era. It’s already on sale, and the 12” pot isn’t bad either at $35.99. So that $5 houseplant that you picked up at Trader Joe’s? It looks like it costs a whole lot more now. When you need to set the mood, candles are perfect. This candle holder IS mid century modern, plus it’s on clearance. Grab it and the larger version, which is just $1 more, and turn on those sexy tunes. If you’re looking to fill a bit of shelf space, this statue does the trick without going overboard. The miminal lines, giving just enough to suggest this is an owl, is a hallmark of mid century modern decor. And yeah, that girl you invited over also thinks it’s pretty cute. Read a lot (or just want to look like you do)? Grab yourself a pair of these stately bookends and amp up that stack of books. Make a mint julep while you’re at it, too. You cannot go wrong with using globes and maps in your place. They’re the perfect conversation starter to talk about where you’ve been recently or want to go.
