For each stadium, I am using its best-remembered name, not necessarily its current name.
Yankee Stadium, New York (1923 version), 37: 1923, 1926, 1927, 1928, 1932, 1936, 1937, 1938, 1939, 1941, 1942, 1943, 1947, 1949, 1950, 1951, 1952, 1953, 1955, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1981, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003.
Polo Grounds, New York (1911 version), 13: 1911, 1912, 1913, 1917, 1921, 1922, 1923, 1924, 1933, 1936, 1937, 1951, 1954. No, 1921 and 1922 don't get counted twice because the Yankees and Giants both made it and both then used the Polo Grounds.
Sportsman's Park (1909 version, a.k.a. the 1st stadium to be known as Busch Stadium), St. Louis, 10: 1926, 1928, 1930, 1931, 1934, 1942, 1943, 1944, 1946, 1964. No, 1944 doesn't get counted twice because both St. Louis teams made it and both used Sportsman's Park.
1. Fenway Park, Boston, 9: 1912, 1914, 1946, 1967, 1975, 1986, 2004, 2007, 2013. The Braves used Fenway in 1914, because it was larger than the South End Grounds. They opened Braves Field the next year, and invited the Red Sox to use their new larger stadium for World Series home games in 1915, 1916 and 1918, which is why Fenway didn't host a World Series between 1914 and 1946.
Ebbets Field, Brooklyn, 9: 1916, 1920, 1941, 1947, 1949, 1952, 1953, 1955, 1956.

29. Marlins Park, Miami: No postseasons in 3 years.
30. Citi Field, New York: No postseasons in 6 years.
That the Mets are dead last among active ballparks is a quirk, due to having a relatively new stadium. That the Yankees are 13th among active ballparks is a shock, but remember: Like Citi Field, the new Yankee Stadium only opened in 2009.
