Hi fans, welcome to Rollie Fingers' Mustache, Timo's blog about baseball. Obviously for many of you, the first question is: Who is Rollie Fingers? This query will be followed, undoubtedly, by the next question: What's with his mustache?
**
Rollie Fingers is a retired ballplayer who played his way to the Hall of Fame closing games for the Oakland A's, San Diego Padres, and Milwaukee Brewers in the 1970's through the mid-1980s. Due to his role in defining the modern-day closer (a pitcher who comes in specifically at the end of a game to "close" the game and ensure his team's win) and, of course, his fantastic waxed handlebar mustache, I have named this baseball blog after his signature facial hair and magnificent arm.

In the next post, I'll detail the purposes for this blog, and I'll link to it from my original blog about my family. Thanks, and play ball!
