What a card: Frank Pastore was in his seventh and final season with the Reds when this card was issued. He struggled in 1984 after being struck in the elbow by a batted ball. He missed time and finished with a 6.50 ERA.
My observation on the front: Is that a shadow on Pastore's right shoulder or a giant, expanding stain?
More opinion from me: That hat is really high.
Something you might know: Pastore went back to school and became a popular Christian radio broadcaster after his career, He hosted one of the largest Christian talk shows in the country. He died in 2012 from pneumonia a month after a motorcycle accident in which he suffered head injuries.
Something you might not know: Pastore once held the record for consuming the 72-ounce steak dinner at the Big Texan in Amarillo, Texas. Those who could eat the steak in less than an hour ate for free. Pastore beat the hour mark seven times and held the record by sucking down the steak in 9 1/2 minutes in 1987. The record was broken by famed hot dog-eating champion Joey Chestnut in 2008, who downed the monster steak in 8:52.
My observation on the back: If SHO stands for shutouts, then what's the abbreviation for shutout?
