Personal Life

His older brother, David Frandsen Jr. ("D.J."), died in 2004 from a 19-year battle with Wilms' tumor, a mere three months after Frandsen was drafted. As a token of affection and remembrance, Giants pitching coach and long-time family friend Dave Righetti offered Frandsen his jersey number 19, knowing that D.J.'s favorite number was also 19, and that he had admired Righetti as a child.

In 2007, Frandsen completed the final two classes he needed for graduation and earned a degree in finance from San José State University.
