Safe.

likely should have been a strike
 
Point being that Fenway Parks dimensions are about the same as Yankee stadium

If all you do is look at 3 specific points, sure.
If you look at average distances and heights needed to hit a home run across the entire outfield, however, you'll find that it's significantly different.

That is, your point isn't very meaningful in terms of how games actually play.

Yet Fenway was ahead of Yankee stadium in MLB park factors.

Poor rf wall.
