    For me it depends on my hitting style. I'm always late on the fastball so I go opposite field a ton. So for right handers its Fenway and for lefty's its Minute Maid. In general I hit a lot of home runs at Wrigley.

      I have noticed that unless playing in one of those huge spacious parks my home run total doesn't really change much. Although I do really like the short porch in Yankee Stadium for lefties, and MMP for righties.

        Rogers Center is 328 down the lines... If you've got a pull hitter, that'll be his favorite place.

          Minute Maid and Great American Ballpark.

            Fenway by a LONG shot... Unless you hit it to Center. You either hit it over the Monster or down the short Right Field line.

                Does the altitude affect the ball in the game?

                I would say Yankee Stadium and Fenway.
                NHL: Chicago Blackhawks
                NFL: Kansas City Chiefs
                MLB: Kansas City Royals
                NCAA: Kansas Jayhawks

                  Fenway has a very deep right field. Are you sure you spoke correctly?

                  It sounds like you're looking to play as a certain team, so I would say the NL Central bids the most home runs. Chicago and Milwaukee have short porches in their power alleys, Houston has excellent carry down the lines, and Cincinnati is just shallow overall. St. Louis is the most fair of the parks, and Pittsburgh has a lot of balls go out in right field, though swallows them in left.

                  The divisions to avoid are the NL East and the AL West, as far as finding great home run ballparks (though Philadelphia and Texas are sure homer happy).

                    i hit a ton of homers at the trop. it's a dome so there's never any wind and the park isn't deep. but i hate playing at the trop. wrigley always produces a ton of homers for me as well

                      Coors Field plays big. I can't say I've seen more home runs there, but the outfield is so large in real life to counteract the long ball that it's easily one of the best hitting stadiums.

                      Ballpark at Arlington just jumps off the bat.

                      Hitter friendly- Astros, Reds, Cubs, White Sox, Yankees, Rangers, Red Sox, Orioles, Phillies, and Rockies.

                      Hitter neutral- Braves, Marlins, Nationals, Blue Jays, Rays, Pirates, Cardinals, Tigers, Brewers, D'Backs, Royals, and Indians.

                      Pitcher friendly- Dodgers, Padres, Mets, Mariners, Giants, Twins, A's, and Angels.

                        Fenway is deep in right but I have great luck going opposite field over it. It has always played short for me and as a bonus if I dont take it out then I a lot of times end up with a triple due to it bouncing around in that corner.

                          The O.Co colosseum seems to be where I hit the most homeruns believe it or not. Rogers Centre as well if I can time the fastball that game.

                              My switch-hitting power hitter in RTTS got traded to the Yankees.
