7yo: “Dad, why do we have so many Frog and Toad books?” Me: “Because they’re like the best books ever.” 7yo: “But Dad, I thought your book was the best book ever?” 😊 (This tender bedtime moment came in between the 1,000th & 1,001st time he tried to grab my phone to check scores on the ESPN app)

The one thing more annoying than AI-generated, author-baiting "marketing" scams sent to your work email is when those emails are meant for another author entirely ... and then they ping you again anyway. (Though this DOES make me want to read James M. Tabor's new book, "Lightning Beneath the Sea.")

Also, I had totally forgotten until just now, but my first "football" story as a DP college sports writer was on the 1953 team that got squeezed when Penn eliminated scholarships & kneecapped the program in the ramp-up to formal Ivy League play but still had a powerhouse schedule on the books

On a damp, gray day in Boston, I’m thinking of Seattle—not the weather but b/c I’m still beaming about this event last week @brick-mortar.bsky.social in conversation with the great @walsh.bsky.social, and all the old friends & new faces! We sold out, but I signed bookplates for when it’s restocked!

As a former @bostonglobe.com transportation reporter, I shed a tear at the sight of this misplaced child-size @mbta.com Green Line sweatshirt at PDX airport (3,000 miles from Park Street)

Honored to be highlighted among @csmonitor.bsky.social's best books of the summer. And thank you, Danny Heitman — “voluminous research and wry humor” is a great compliment, and I'm going to have to start using "moneyed rake" & "precarious odyssey" in my book talks! www.csmonitor.com/layout/set/a...

Eric Moskowitz @ericmoskowitz.bsky.social · 21/06/2026

Love these graphics @stmartinspress.bsky.social came up with to promote THE HARDEST, LONGEST RACE! There's still time to pick up a copy for any dads — or anyone who likes a good yarn, braided with snapshots of America in 1909 — in your life as a gift today! Happy to mail you a signed bookplate, too!

Eric Moskowitz @ericmoskowitz.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

When I worked for @bostonglobe.com, I always loved to buy it at the newsstand while traveling on my way to the gate, especially if it had my byline. What a thrill to come back home from a few tour stops and see my name in the Globe again for the first time in years! Thanks, @katekilla.bsky.social!

Eric Moskowitz @ericmoskowitz.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

Philly! Come out to Head House Books at 6:30 tonight to hear about my new book THE HARDEST, LONGEST RACE, in conversation with Paul Hendrickson. Should be a lot of fun! (And don’t just take my word for it; look at these happy people at my NYC reading 😊) headhousebooks.com/event/2026-0...

Eric Moskowitz @ericmoskowitz.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

Things kick off this Sunday/Monday in the NYC area, where the race started in 1909! I'll be at the Katonah Reading Room this Sunday (5/31) at 2:30 pm (with John Swansburg). On Monday (6/1) at 7 pm I'll be at the Barnes & Noble on the UWS with Peter Khoury. Free bookmarks in person, too!

Eric Moskowitz @ericmoskowitz.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

My book is finally here! Come join me on tour! While I won’t be retracing all 4,106 miles of the 1909 Ocean-to-Ocean Race, I have several events lined up, with more to come. If you can't make it, visit ericmoskowitz.com & I'll mail you a signed custom bookplate! Thanks!

6yo: “Ref says redo!” Me: “Remember, buddy, in baseball it’s not called a ref; it’s an umpire.” 6yo: “What’s an empire?”

Jeff, thank you for taking the time to read and review my book — and for giving it such a generous review at that! Just saw it on Goodreads

Eric Moskowitz @ericmoskowitz.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

Excited to share that my book comes out in 15 days, and I just got a starred review from Kirkus! www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews...

Eric Moskowitz @ericmoskowitz.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

In an unlikely turn, my 6yo went from elation to agony when he opened the pizza I brought home and discovered it did NOT have anchovies (or as he put it, “those tiny fish in the little container that I had with Grandpa”) … though he bounced back a second later

Hat tip to Kevin from AAA, who just jumpstarted the ancient Honda Fit we inherited from my mother-in-law — and who, flipping the usual question after hearing about my book (“How’d Ford cheat?”), said “Wait! Don’t ruin it! I’m gonna buy the book!”

Eric Moskowitz @ericmoskowitz.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

So great to see my friend (and former Globe podmate) @davabel.bsky.social and his wonderful — and deeply personal — short film “The Petal Pusher” @iffboston.bsky.social tonight, an ode to family, flowers, and Penn Station www.petalpusherfilm.com

So cool to test out typewriters from the 1920s to ‘60s from repairer-dealer-collector Stephentown Typewriter Co for Analog Day at The Clark Art Institute (in conjunction with an exhibit of art made by Raffaella della Olga with modified typewriters)

Eric Moskowitz @ericmoskowitz.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

Happy Independent Bookstore Day! It's as good a day as any to visit your neighborhood indie — and pre-order The Hardest, Longest Race! If you don't have a local shop, you can order today at a discount and get free shipping, too, while supporting indie bookstores here: bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

Watching Celts-Sixers at a sports bar/bowling alley in the Berkshires. My kids’ minds were blown when I told them I knew who took the ubiquitous Bird/Dr. J photo on the wall — the one and only Ted Gartland — and had even seen the negative! (Though I had to explain what a negative was)

Also LOVE the Boston Braves pennant tucked in at top left in this Erin Clark photo of Mat Brown

Growing up, I sometimes browsed at Building 19 with my mom, but I ALWAYS looked for the Building 19 circulars in the @bostonglobe.com every Sunday! This piece from Billy Baker on 90yo artist Mat Brown (and the younger fans celebrating his work) is fantastic! www.bostonglobe.com/2026/04/17/m...

The great @keithob.bsky.social at the Power of Narrative Conference, on the scrapbooks and newspaper bound volumes he leafed through in Larry Bird’s hometown: “Libraries” — and librarians — “are crucial to the work we do as narrative storytellers. Full stop.”

Eric Moskowitz @ericmoskowitz.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

My book won't arrive until June, but I'd be delighted to mail a signed bookplate and bookmark — hot off the presses, designed by my amazing cousin Jordan Diatlo at Leadoff Studio — free to anyone who messages me to say they've preordered

Eric Moskowitz @ericmoskowitz.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

Good news for people who like books and sales! @barnesandnoble.com is running a preorder promo through the end of Thursday, offering 25% off preorders of my book (and others coming soon) with the code PREORDER25 www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-hardes...

Eric Moskowitz @ericmoskowitz.bsky.social · 13/03/2026

Didn’t expect to get choked up walking around the corner to buy circus tickets at the BU Agganis Arena box office, but that’s how life works. Saw that Meth and Red are coming and immediately wanted to text my friend Rod Kurtz—we saw them in Philly in 2000(!). Rod passed away last year. A gut punch.

Eric Moskowitz @ericmoskowitz.bsky.social · 08/03/2026

“Dad, can dogs eat tacos,” my 6-year-old asked, on the escalator at DSW, “or do they fall apart when they eat them?” Wasn’t where I expected the second half of that question to go. 😂🌮🐶

Eric Moskowitz @ericmoskowitz.bsky.social · 05/03/2026

Nothing like the pleasant surprise of finding a package on the porch with a book you pre-ordered months ago. Can’t wait to read this, @keithob.bsky.social!

Eric Moskowitz @ericmoskowitz.bsky.social · 07/02/2026

A few photos from the celebration of his life. Incredible to learn that 97yo sculptor Nancy Schön — the artist who made the Make Way for Ducklings sculptures in the Public Garden — is designing a work of public art in tribute to Rescue! @neads-wcsd.bsky.social

Love this. No notes. (Well, maybe one.) ☀️☃️🏖️

Eric Moskowitz @ericmoskowitz.bsky.social · 22/01/2026

Got galleys last night! Very exciting! Had some help from a 6yo scissors-wielder who loves to open packages, and who didn’t even exist yet when my agent (Wendy Strothman) first encouraged me to pursue this story as a book! @stmartinspress.bsky.social

I have no memory of this, but the Celtics actually won that one, and 18-year-old rookie Kobe Bryant scored 2 points on 1 of 7 shooting

Eric Moskowitz @ericmoskowitz.bsky.social · 18/01/2026

Watching the Pats at my childhood home. Just found this 11/27/1996 Celtics-Lakers ticket while helping my 6yo look unsuccessfully for some old coin albums. Incredible that it was $10 — before variable game pricing even for season ticket holders

Eric Moskowitz @ericmoskowitz.bsky.social · 15/01/2026

Wonderful to see a packed house — and so many old and dear Globe friends — for the amazing Janice Page and YEAR OF THE WATER HORSE @brooklinebooksmith.bsky.social tonight

Eric Moskowitz @ericmoskowitz.bsky.social · 13/01/2026

I had forgotten the name “Whitman Coin Folder,” but it’s reassuring to know these blue albums I loved as a kid remain unchanged across the decades, still with the power to captivate a screen-obsessed 6-year-old. (“Dad, I just can’t believe I have 2025-D and regular 2023!” 😊)

000

Eric Moskowitz @ericmoskowitz.bsky.social · 31/12/2025

It’s Barnes & Noble presale time! You can get my book (THE HARDEST, LONGEST RACE) and lots more exciting titles coming in 2026 for 25% off if you order by day’s end on 1/1/26! Use code PREORDER25 at www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-hardes...

After the 67th day of school party, my 6yo asked if we could get an ILOVE67 license plate. I said no, because it costs extra and because we may not be excited about 6-7 forever. Then a friend spotted this

000

Eric Moskowitz @ericmoskowitz.bsky.social · 26/11/2025

I missed it, so I did a google image search for cardinal and robin and he confirmed it was definitely a cardinal. “It was beautiful!” he said. “Do you think it heard us say that?”

Eric Moskowitz @ericmoskowitz.bsky.social · 23/11/2025

Wonder if the Guinness Book people have any interest in this one

Eric Moskowitz @ericmoskowitz.bsky.social · 17/11/2025

This @caity.bsky.social essay reminds me of long ago when I was a newish reporter on a Sunday shift, and the Globe still had its own 7-day cafeteria, and in deadline desperation I tried to pay for a pizza slice with 183 desk-drawer pennies carried carefully from the newsroom in a cough drop bag…

Eric Moskowitz @ericmoskowitz.bsky.social · 16/11/2025

Topps is trolling us all, 6-7, 6-7: my 6 yo spent $7 (of his own money) on a rack pack, pulled a 6’7” Lamelo Ball, discovered it was card #67, and danced gleefully all around the exit at Target, calling out six-sevvvven, six-sevvvven.

“Dad, what’s the oldest thing in here? Is there anything older than 19-zero-zero?” he asked, as we turned to these late 1800s cabinet cards of Boston Strongboy John L. Sullivan and Gentleman Jim Corbett
