Watch: White Sox's Matt Davidson Hits 3 Home Runs on Opening Day

"You can put it on the board...yes."

The White Sox's Matt Davidson's adopted Ken Harrelson's motto Thursday on Opening Day when he hit three home runs in the team's game against the Royals.

The third baseman is the first player in the team's history to hit three home runs in a season opener.

Davidson is the 15th player in Chicago history with three home runs in one game — the team record is four.

He hit solo shots in the fourth and fifth inning, and a three-run homer in the eighth.

But the 27-year-old slugger wasn't alone in the home run department on Thursday: The team had six total homers to tie the MLB record for Opening Day with the 1988 Mets.
