Frank Pastore (born August 21, 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. [1]
On 5 January 2004 Pastore became the host of The Frank Pastore Show on KKLA 99.5 FM in Los Angeles. It is the largest Christian talk show in the United States.
On 5 November 2004 an opinion piece Pastore 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.
Pastore is a graduate of Damien High School, La Verne, California. His nephew, Nick Pignotti, now plays soccer at the University of La Verne.
