First off, Yankee Stadium (obviously)
Joe played 77 games there in '37 and hit 19 bombs.
And Yankee Stadium was HUGE in left field back then compared to the modern version.
Black Line is where current Yankee Stadium fence would fall compared to 1937
I don't think it's a stretch to say he would likely have hit noticeably more with the current configuration.

up Next Sportsman's Park, home of the then St. Louis Browns (who eventually moved to Baltimore and became the Orioles)
Joe played 12 games there in 1937 and hit 8 homers.
here is Sportsman's wall onto of 1937 Yankee Stadium
again, I don't think it's a stretch to say that had this been his home park, his HR numbers likely go up compared to Yankee Stadium.
and current Camden Yards vs the old Sportsman's Park
not as easy to decide on total numbers, but I'd say playing in Baltimore today probably lowers his number, so may not have gotten 8 in only 12 games there.
