And when he hit 54 to make the new record, the Yankees played in the Polo Grounds. And only 259 of his 714 were hit at Yankee Stadium. 455 were hit in other ballparks:

You're right. I was going by Baseball-Reference's career splits and the actual PA within that ballpark not the overall career effect.

So Ruth had 3,633 PA at Yankee Stadium for his career and hit 259 HR there which comes out to a 7.1% rate. That's how I got the rates for the other ballparks e.g. Fenway Park was 1,266 PA and 49 HR, etc. Fun Fact: Ruth hit a HR/PA of 8.8% at the Polo Grounds
