If you're going to include Grand Slam and Grand Salami, let just salami work because that is also used.

Walk-off is an adjective to describe the home run. You can have a walk off double or single.

Big Fly is accepted but does not fill in one of the blanks. Also, Inside the Park shows up in black and is not colored red or green like the rest of the answers.

Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton routinely hit balls that would be out of Yellowstone. Also, there’s a great twitter feed, ‘would it dong,’ which tweets after every HR hit in the season and says how many parks (if any others) the HR would have left. It also says if a long double or out just hit in one stadium would have been a HR in others.

I went to a couple of Royals games at Yankee stadium in 2017. Ten home runs in the two games (five by each team). My guess was that three of them would have gotten out in Kansas City. That's more dramatic than the normal ratio, but there are reasons besides spending that the Yankees tend to have guys near the top of the league in home runs. (They also play a lot of divisional games in Toronto, Boston, and Baltimore - tiny parks.)

I went to a Twins game against the Rangers this year, at Target field, which is average size for a baseball field, and had 8 home runs that game, 5 by the Twins and 3 by the Rangers. There was another that was foul but dented the metal of a third row balcony and another foul homer.

Kansas City also has the second largest field, second to the Rockies, which at altitude makes it easier for home runs, so that also probably contributes to the so few amounts of home runs there.

Some constructive criticism: I wouldn't include grand slam/salami, because that can only occur when the bases are loaded (an announcer wouldn't use that slang term otherwise). Also, an upper decker is a specific type of home run, just like an out-of-the-parker, so it shouldn't be included. And a walk-off is a hit that results in a game-winning run (not necessarily a home run). You're also missing big fly, shot, moon shot, gone deep, tater, goner, yard work, etc.
