Dear Blue Whale Barfly,
A slight correction, Bob Rooney is, unfortunately, a masochistic Mets fan. (It's too darned easy to be a Yankee fan. It's like rooting for General Motors over Yugo Motors of the former Yugoslavia!)
However, I would like to be the long lost son of a regrettable "rendezvous" (as America's dad, Bill Cosby, once described one of his own trysts as) between the beloved Mr. Rooney and the soon-to-be chronicled Donna Fridlander. (A spunky lady who just won't take no for an answer!. )
Bob the Bartender, who stills tears up when he watches Judith Ivey and Steve Martin in "The Lonely Guy."
