Shattered by Frank Pastore Summary
Overview of Shattered

When the Fastball Comes Back at You
The line drive left Steve Sax's bat at 132 miles per hour. Frank Pastore had less than an eighth of a second to react. His arm shot up instinctively, protecting his face but absorbing the full impact of the baseball. As he cradled his shattered elbow on the mound at Dodger Stadium, feeling bone fragments shift "like broken cookies in a bag," something unexpected happened. This 26-year-old Cincinnati Reds pitcher-who didn't believe in God-found himself screaming at Him anyway. That moment in 1984 wasn't just the end of a baseball career. It was the beginning of a complete life transformation that would take Pastore from the pitcher's mound to seminary classrooms to one of Christian radio's most compelling voices. His journey reveals a profound truth: sometimes our greatest disappointments aren't detours from our purpose-they're the pathway to it. What looks like the end might actually be the most important beginning we'll ever experience.
