I suspect that the 430 feet for center field was a transposition typo in the data, since the real dimension is supposedly 403.
More recent ballparks are a matter of continual updates, and I think the OOTP community has played a big part in trying to help make sure that all ballparks and updated and maintained correctly. But human errors or issues with data sources are always a possibility.
Historical ballpark data in OOTP has been pretty extensively researched and was based on available sources at the time. It's always possible that some information was incomplete and some educated guesses were made. Some data at the time might not have been 100% accurate.
