Frank Pastore

Frank Pastore (born August 27, 1957 in Alhambra, California) is a former professional baseball pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds from 1979 until 1985, and for the Minnesota Twins in 1986. He then began a long schooling, earning degrees in business administration, philosophy of religion and ethics, political philosophy, and American government from various universities.

In January, 2004 Pastore became a talk show host on the radio station KKLA 99.5 FM, a Christian talk station in Los Angeles.

On November 5, 2004, an opinion piece he authored, entitled "Christian Conservatives Must Not Compromise" was published in the Los Angeles Times. In it, he references Leftism as "this evil ideology" and says that "the Left must be defeated in the realm of ideas," and has provoked a strong reaction on some message boards.

Trivia

Pastore held the official record for completing the 72-ounce steak meal challenge at the Big Texan steakhouse in Amarillo, Texas, having eaten the entire meal in 9½ minutes in May, 1987 (this was his 7th successful completion of the feat) until March 24, 2008 when competitive eating champion, Joey Chestnut, finished the meal challenge in 8 minutes & 52 seconds.

Pastore is a graduate of Damien High School, La Verne, California. His nephew, Nick Pignotti now plays soccer at the University of La Verne just down the street.
