Hoyt Wilhelm did it and never hit another in his career.
What player had exactly one career home run, and hit it in the 22nd inning of a game?

Other interesting facts about the guys who have homered in their first MLB at bat:
It has actually happened 102 times. 19 of those players (Wilhelm and 18 others) never homered again in the majors. The Arizona Diamondbacks had 3 different guys do it... in 2009! Now the follow up question: Which one of these 102 guys hit the MOST career home runs?

According to Wiki
Gary Gaetti with 360.
Carlos Lee and Jermaine Dye both have a reasonable chance of passing Gaetti.
