New exes: Ed Herrmann hangs with former teammate Bill Melton at Comiskey Park in 1975,
1975

2011
The White Sox started the season with a torrent of runs in blistering Cleveland, 15-10. It was the second-highest scoring total on Opening Day in franchise history. The Sox led 14-0 after the first five innings. Carlos Quentin drove in five runs, and newcomer Adam Dunn knocked in four.

I think Dunn went down with appendicitis shortly after this. He was never really the same player after that.
