I would think the focus would be on a possible Kelenic sighting

He has has a bit of a weird start. Not horrible but not great.

17 PAs 3 walks and only 3 K which is good and 4 singles but no X base hits. .286/.697 but has already managed to go negative with his bWAR at -0.1.

Will be surreal to see him up to bat vs. our pitching.

And he died on May 18th, wow. Appalling that they didn't try to dig him up so that they could bury him in a better place than under all that volcanic crap.

Might have taken a while. Instead of 6 feet under he was 150 feet under. Wild he was born just 2 years after his POTUS namesake in 1896. My Grandfather was born in 1890. In 1977 when I was 10 yo me being the math whiz I told him he only had to live another 13 years to make it to 100 yo. He smiled and died two months later. My Dad is now 87.
Harry R. Truman (October 30, 1896 – May 18, 1980) was an American businessman, bootlegger, and prospector. He lived near Mount St. Helens, a dormant volcano in the Cascade Range in the state of Washington, and was the owner and caretaker of Mount St. Helens Lodge at Spirit Lake near the base of the mountain. After Mount St. Helens awoke from dormancy in March 1980, Truman became a folk hero in the weeks leading to the volcano's May eruption, after refusing to evacuate his home despite repeated orders from authorities. On May 18, 1980, Truman was killed in the cataclysmic eruption of Mount St. Helens by a pyroclastic flow that overtook his lodge and buried the site under 46 m (150 ft) of volcanic debris.

After Truman's death, his family and friends reflected on his love for the mountain. Actor Art Carney portrayed Truman in the docudrama film St. Helens (1981). Truman was commemorated in a book by his niece, and also in various pieces of music, including songs by Headgear, Billy Jonas, Penny Lew, and Shawn Wright and the Brothers Band.

I was up there a few years ago and I looked down from the Johnston Ridge Observatory toward the general area where his lodge was and thought nope, it ain't happening, dude's buried deeper than most of the dinosaurs are. From what I understand there were 21 other people (including Johnston) whose bodies were never recovered.
