I'm working on my own right now (only for the major league parks, natch), and they don't really match up well with his, although it's difficult to say why, since he doesn't show his methodology. I am using an extra year's worth of data, not weighting recent years more heavily, and basing it on conversions of balls in play, so that might have something to do with it.

For what it's worth, I get:
Park____1B___2B___3B___HR__Out___BB____K
Fenway_.999_1.198_.791_.879_.978__1.018_.974
Jacobs__.980_1.057_.482_.845_1.006_n/c___1.060

(n/c indicates I haven't calculated that yet.)
