Professional career

Jenkins at the plate against the Cincinnati Reds during the 2004 season

Jenkins had a strong start to his career with the Brewers. On April 24, 1998, he hit a home run off of Orel Hershiser in his first career plate appearance against the San Francisco Giants. He is the second player in Milwaukee baseball history (Chuck Tanner, 1955, Milwaukee Braves) to accomplish the feat. Jenkins would go on to bat over .300 in his 2nd and 3rd seasons, driving in 90 or more runs three times for one of the perennially weaker teams in the league. His 2002 season was cut short when on June 17 in a game against the Houston Astros he suffered a horrific-looking broken ankle when sliding into 3rd base feet first during a game. He was safe on the play. He was selected to the National League's All-Star team in 2003 via the MLB's All-Star Final Vote contest where a player is selected from both leagues by fans to join their respective team after the initial roster is announced. On June 8th, 2004, he became the 8th player in major league history to strike out six times in a single game. After playing in left field for virtually his entire career, he moved to right field for the 2005 and 2006 seasons when Milwaukee acquired Carlos Lee. In 2006 Jenkins experienced a prolonged offensive slump, struggling in particular against left-handed pitching. In August of 2006 the Brewers benched Jenkins, one of their highest-paid players at the time, in favor of the younger Corey Hart. In 2007 Jenkins returned to left field to platoon with Kevin Mench.
