Bob Timmermann used to blog about baseball at The Griddle. He has contributed pieces to Dodger Thoughts and Baseball Analysts. He is one of the vice presidents of the Allan Roth Chapter of the Society of American Baseball Research (SABR) and has given two presentations at SABR's national convention. He grew up in Granada Hills and later earned a history degree at UCLA back in the day when the Bruins were good in football and bad in basketball. He will be happy to explain the catcher interference rule to you. Bob also wrote the blog One Through Forty-Two or Forty-Three, "a more or less random look back at the Presidents of the U.S." Bob lives in South Pasadena. Email
