4 unusual facts about Frank Pastore


Frank Pastore

On November 19, 2012, Pastore was seriously injured on the Foothill (210) Freeway in Duarte, California when a 56-year-old woman from Glendora, California, driving a Hyundai Sonata, inexplicably collided with his Honda VTX 1800, throwing him off the motorcycle.

Shortly after he was released by the Rangers, Pastore set a new record at the The Big Texan Steak Ranch restaurant in Amarillo, Texas by eating a meal of 72-ounce ribeye steak, salad, baked potato, shrimp cocktail, and roll in 9 minutes, 30 seconds.

That record stood until it was broken by Joey Chestnut on March 24, 2008, when he finished his same-sized steak meal in just over 8 minutes.
