This is the first package of Sapporo Potato Barbecue Calbee Pro Baseball Snack that we have ever encountered. According to the text on the back, the snack is made from potatoes, chicken, onions and miso paste, and has a spicy kick! There is information on the back about redeeming one's home run cards, for albums in which to put Calbee baseball cards.

The price of the product is 30 yen which, based on the prices of other similar 1970s packages, indicates that the year of production is probably either 1975 or 1976.  As is the case with several other Calbee snack packages of the 1970s, a cartoon image of Sadaharu Oh (or someone who looks extremely similar to him) appears on the front. Oh is seen in his famous flamingo batting stance.
