A search for a biological father, and the surprise of a lifetime
CBSN
Matt Katz is a lifelong Mets fan. Playing ball with his son, Reuben, is what Father's Day memories are made of. But growing up, Matt's experience of Father's Day was about as complicated as a triple play. "Did my birth father like baseball? Does he like baseball?" Katz asked. "And because I had for many years no contact with my birth father, I would wonder about little things like that."
Matt was raised by his Jewish mother, Roberta, and Richard, his Jewish stepfather, who said, "As far as I'm concerned, he is my son."
"His father was out of the picture, and he felt rejected," said Roberta. "He tried to see him, but it didn't work out."
