Frankie Lasagna back in the kitchen at Italian restaurant after viral baseball moment
TORONTO — Of all the days for Frankie Lasagna’s pizza cook to miss work, a sick day on Thursday was less than ideal.
Lasagna was busy preparing for dinner service at his Toronto restaurant while juggling a steady stream of media requests throughout the day after his viral moment at Rogers Centre a night earlier.
“I have to make pizzas today, which is not a problem, but it’s just a lot more hectic (with) everything that happened last night,” Lasagna said with a laugh when reached by phone.
Video clips, memes and stories of Lasagna coming a few feet short of snagging Aaron Judge’s 61st home run ball quickly made the online rounds Wednesday night and through the next day.
