It was 25 years ago, when President Bush threw one of the most dramatic and impressive ceremonial first pitches in World Series history. The world was watching just weeks after 9/11. Catch the backstory in our @Tunnel2Towers baseball special.

Please join me October 28 in Oyster Bay, NY for a conversation with newly minted author @TimScheld. Tim’s memoir, “My Front Row Seat,” is a terrific read. It covers Tim’s career as a reporter, news manager, media industry leader and educator.

Despite a nor’easter, thousands ran in the 25th @Tunnel2Towers 5k. It was a memorable event with the Budweiser Clydesdale’s leading the way. Thanks to some of the T2T recipients for sharing their stories of loss and resilience. We will #NeverForget.

[Peter Haskell @peterhaskell880]

On 9/21/01, baseball returned to NYC and Mike Piazza hit one of the most iconic home runs in baseball history. Get the inside story in this @Tunnel2Towers video special. And see the compassion shown by an Atlanta player. https://t.co/y0P5nmeEej

Thanks to @Jay_HorwitzPR for shining a light on the important work @Tunnel2Towers is doing. Jay was instrumental in arranging some of the interviews featured in the T2T film, “Never Forget: How Baseball Helped New York Heal.”

[Jay Horwitz @Jay_HorwitzPR]

Displaying the same type of dedication he did as manager of the Mets, Terry Collins is now giving his all to help @Tunnel2Towers relocate 343 mortgage-free homes to veterans and first responders.

Thank you to @ABC7 sportscaster @SamRyanABC7 for speaking to our @FordhamCMS journalism class. Sam spoke about the women who paved the way for her and how “if you can see it, you can be it.”

Students were impressed by her persistence and determination. She was inspiring.

The deaths of nearly 3,000 people on 9/11 left families and friends in agony.

As part of the @Tunnel2Towers 9/11 Reflections series, Jim Giaccone looks back on the murder of his brother. This is a powerful story.

If you don’t remember or weren’t born, here’s an inside look at what heroic first responders dealt with on 9/11. @FDNY Bill Spade is the latest addition to the @Tunnel2Towers 9/11 Reflections series. His story is gripping. Take a look and #NeverForget.

Legend.

[Steven Portnoy @stevenportnoy]

RIP to a legend of Washington journalism, and an icon of the White House press corps.

I was honored to sit in Mark’s briefing room seat for several years. It was always HIS seat.

@daveaiello Thank you, Dave.

[Peter Haskell @peterhaskell880]

They pulled the plug on WCBS 880 a year ago. As a tribute, I’m reposting some of my reflections.

[Peter Haskell @peterhaskell880]

A REFLECTION ON @WCBS880.
1/2. In March 2018, a Nor’easter left residents in Scarsdale without power for a week. People have computers in their pockets, but news releases don’t provide answers and posting on social media is like screaming into the void.

[Peter Haskell @peterhaskell880]

@LaurenceTobias1 I’m doing well. Thank you.

[Peter Haskell @peterhaskell880]

@BillBartholomew Thanks Bill.

[Peter Haskell @peterhaskell880]

This is the last of eleven reflections on the closing of WCBS 880 last August.

[Peter Haskell @peterhaskell880]

A REFLECTION ON @WCBS880.

1/4. If you are a listener, thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you for waking up with us or going to bed with us. Thank you for trusting us to give it to you straight. Thank you for caring about us, as is obvious from the outpouring of support.

[Peter Haskell @peterhaskell880]

There is magic in radio and WCBS 880, now gone, did it right.

[Peter Haskell @peterhaskell880]

A REFLECTION ON @WCBS880.
1/4. Growing up in NJ, I never allowed myself to dream of being on WCBS. It was the gold standard. Then in 1994, I was hired. The reporters were radio royalty. The standard of excellence was so high, I knew I needed to bring my A-game every day.

[Peter Haskell @peterhaskell880]

WCBS 880 proved that local news matters.

[Peter Haskell @peterhaskell880]

A REFLECTION ON @WCBS880.
1/4. When Superstorm Sandy hit the NYC-area on Oct 29, 2012 it brought devastation like no other. With towns submerged and power out, 880 was a lifeline. We told residents’ stories, provided critical information and spoke to public officials.

[Peter Haskell @peterhaskell880]

#NeverForget. WCBS 880 never did.

[Peter Haskell @peterhaskell880]

A REFLECTION ON @WCBS880
1/4. In the days and weeks after the 9/11 attacks, the nation made a solemn promise to #NeverForget. During my time at 880, we were committed to upholding that promise. I’m proud to have covered every anniversary ceremony until 2022, when I left.

[Peter Haskell @peterhaskell880]

One of my favorite WCBS 880 stories.

[Peter Haskell @peterhaskell880]

A REFLECTION ON @WCBS880
1/4. The night of May 2, 2011, my phone rang. “We got bin Laden” were the first words I heard from 880 manager @MrRobSanchez. I eventually went to Ground Zero, not knowing what to expect. There was a party with 100’s on Church St celebrating.

[Peter Haskell @peterhaskell880]

A REFLECTION ON @WCBS880.
1/4. If you lived through 9/11, you don’t need it explained. If you didn’t, it’s hard to fully understand. The professionalism shown by the 880 news team is hard to wrap your head around. When it felt like the world was ending, calm voices had info.
