Last year, the hardest park to hit home runs in was AT&T Park in San Francisco. In 2004 and 2005, it was Petco Park in San Diego. In 2003 it was Dolphin Stadium in Miami. The hardest changes from year to year as new stadiums are built and teams move in and push back the outfield walls. A lot also has to do with the quality of a team's pitchers.

The hardest now are RFK and Petco Park. Back in the day the Polo Grounds was the hardest to hit 'em in. Centerfield was like 500 some odd feet or some outrageous distance.

Its hard to really answer this as a normal person. Listed is a site to explain each ballpark's stats. Weather and other features (ex. distances) alter from game to game. Teams abilities also reflects on this link. I do believe due to the air in Colorado, the Rockies' stadium will always be considered one of the easiest to hit a homerun at.

I would have to say Petco Park in San Diego, it has the reputation being a pitcher's park and when is the last time anyone from the Padres in recent memory even remotely was close to leading the league in homers. At night, the ball just dies in the outfield, it's really something to see.
I hope I answered your question.

Don't know about anybody else on here... But I've personally never tried it.
But, in all seriousness... I'm surprised nobody mentioned Detroit's Commerica Park... I remember a few years back they actually wanted to move the walls in because hitters like Juan Gonzales were complaining about not being able to clear the fence.

Undoubtedly the "fishtank," home of the Florida Marlins. Remember that fly ball hit deep in the '03 World Series that would have won the game (and the series) for the Yanks? If they had been in NYC, they would have won for sure, but instead it was a game-ending out.

Shea Stadium is tough, its a big outfield and the wind blowing off Flushing Bay right next to LaGuardia Airport doesnt help either.

the park where there are the fewest home-runs hit. :)
You have to look at the stats of home run hits and then find out where the most home run hitters have not played in the park where there are the fewest hit. If you do not notice any anomaly, then you can say the park with the fewest home run hits were made is the park you are looking for. :)
