Pitcher Turned Radio Show Host Dies at 55

Former Cincinnati Reds pitcher Frank Pastore died on Monday from injuries he suffered in a motorcycle accident one month prior in Upland.

The 55-year-old hosted reportedly the most-listened to Christian talk-show in the country on KKLA-FM in Glendale.

Eerily enough, Pastore hinted at his own death during his final radio show:

“You guys know I ride a motorcycle, right? At any moment, especially with the idiot people who cross the diamond lane into my lane, without any blinkers – not that I’m angry about it – at any minute, I could be spread all over the 210.
