Note: This post has been updated 12/16/15 due to two omissions pointed out in a comment below by soxpacker, whom I thank for the information. I apologize for being incorrect in the first place. I also added the parks.
Sosa, Thomas, Ruth and Konerko played in multiple home parks. The others played all their home games in only one ballpark and, except for Gehrig, I don't think the dimensions changed when they played.
Derived from a list of players with at least 250 home runs at home:

Frank Thomas, 263 HR at US Cellular Field and, as much as i hate to admit it, that steroid freak Sammy Sosa 293 HR at Wrigley Field.
Not sure who else might be missing.
I just verified your finding. Thanks. I will update my post and give you credit.
