Its calledThe Bad Guys Won.
It started way before, and then it just got worse and worse.
Apatow grew up on Long Island and rooted for the Mets.

I was interested in what their relationship was, both to their careers and to each other.
It felt like that would be an interesting approach to take.
And for two guys who had similar struggles, did they ever reach out to each other?

Its like guys in a foxhole together or people on a film crew.
They share that and they will always share that brotherhood.
They would not hang out.
Theyre such different people.
I was stunned by a couple of things, Bonfiglio said.
He never asked him that before they never had that conversation!
For 30 years, Doc carried that around, believing this guy had ratted him out, Bonfiglio said.
He never said anything.
They finally did have that conversation at our urging on camera.
While Apatow is a Mets fan, Bonfiglio is actually not much of a sports fan at all.
I kind of came to it without bias, Bonfiglio said.
I think its very easy to look at athletes as superhuman, but theyre just human, said Apatow.
They have the same weaknesses and temptations as anybody else.
They can be brought down by the disease of addiction just like anybody else.
Maybe this will lead to them being there for each other in the future.
