Below are details on each batters splits at home and on the road. Note that Ruth played his home games in the Polo Grounds in 1920 through 1922 before switching to Yankee Stadium. Here is a count of players for specific HR totals. Note that certain end of season numbers were never achieved: 55, 62, 67, 68, 69, 71, 72.

In this post I switched Rate % Dif from using Home HR Rate (AB/HR) as base to using Road HR Rate as base: [Rate H-R]/[AB/HRr]. Negative is the percent that the batter was more productive at home. Positive is the percent that the batter was less productive on the road.
AB/Road Rate table: total AB divided by Road HR Rate. This produces some amazing results as it shows the number of HR the batter would have hit playing only in parks other than his own.
count: real/without home park
>= 70: 2/0
60-69: 6/9
50-59: 35/19
15 of 43 (35%) drop below 50 HR:
40-49: 12
30-39: 2
20-29: 1
Obviously, some batters who finished with fewer than 50 HR might boost into the 50s but that is beyond the scope of this post.

The two players who dropped the most did it in 1938. Foxx drops 21 HR: 50 to 29 (42%). Foxx played his home games in Fenway Park Boston. His actual splits were 35/15, so this is not surprising. Greenberg 20 homers also in 1938: 58 to 38 (35%). Greenberg played his home games in Tiger Stadium.
Maris drops from 61 to 59. Roger never gets a break. The Babe is sitting pretty at 60 because his home/road splits in 1927 were almost identical.
Gonzalez and Ortiz boost into the 60s. Mays in 1955 in the Polo Grounds and Foster get to 60 with rounding.
The three most recent 50 HR hitters drop out:
Bautista 54 to 39
Davis 53 to 48
Prince Fielder 50 to 44. Daddy Cecil also drops out: 51 to 49.
Kiner loses both his 50 HR seasons and Hack Wilson plummets from 56 to 45. Even Ruth loses: both his 54 HR seasons:
1920 54 to 45; Polo Grounds
1928 54 to 49; Yankee Stadium
Sosa:
1998 66 to 60
1999 63 to 59
2000 50 to 54 Go figure.
2001 64 to 58
McGwire:
1996 52 to 56
1997 58 to 52
1998 70 to 66
1999 65 to 56
Rodriguez drops from three to two 50 HR seasons. Mantle, Mays and Griffey all hold at two.
Polo Grounds:
- Ruth dropped both 50 HR seasons there:
1920 54 to 45
1921 59 to 51
- Mays increased: 51 to 60
- Mize dropped: 51 to 43
Ruth and Mize batted lefty, Mays righty but the park was basically symmetrical. Mays did hit NINE against the Dodgers in Ebbets Field and another three in the Polo Grounds. In 101 1955 plate appearances against the Dodgers, Mays was not hit by pitch.
Camden Yards Baltimore, both bat lefty:
Anderson 50 to 64
Davis 53 to 48

There are probably many surprises for many people.
Brady Anderson was 75.6% better on the ROAD. Second best road warrior: Willie Mays in 1955: 39%.
Fenway Park accounted for two of the extremes:
- Jimmie Foxx (50) held the Red Sox season record 1932-2005; best at home: 60% better at home
- David Ortiz (54) passed Foxx in 2006 despite the fourth worst rate at home: 48% better on road.
More observations in a future post.
