Looking to rebound from a season well below his production standards, Konerko had three hits and two RBIs on Opening Day 2004 at Kansas City. Konerko had 18 home runs, 65 RBIs and a .399 slugging percentage in 2003; then-manager Jerry Manuel went as far as to cut the first baseman's playing time. In 2004, Konerko went on to hit career bests of 41 home runs and 117 RBIs.
