From the J/R.
Interference by a batter occurs exclusively in relationship to the catcher or the catcher's throw and only when the batter does not become a batter-runner
I agree with John that intent, or "willfull indifference" is required to judge this as interference, but on this play with the ball being passed the catcher I have to believe the BR had plenty of time to clear out of the way, meeting the "blatant or avoidable" clause. My call would be interference.
Tim.
