In my [url=https://www.helpfulgardener.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=160460#160460]Minimum Night time Temp thread[/url], pineapple USDA Zones is noted as
Pineapple 10b (35) ~ 11 (40)
And that they enter dormancy at below 60°F (in my notes that usually means 55°F-60°F)
Maybe they would make it with a little extra protection?

So I just went outside to check on it and there was mold on the leaves! I was shocked! Then I realized it has been in 90 degree weather with humiidty at about 100% because of the bag. I also checked the bottom and there were lots of more roots! Next time I will forgo the back completely and just keep it well watered and see how that one does. I will also let it dry out for a couple days so there is less chance of mold.

Your all luck, your climate is well suited to growing pineapples.
PUNKROTTEN said is was to much hassle. but in the Uk we can grow pineapples and it is a lot of hassle.
The basics are the same, cut the top of and plant it on the soil but we have to create a large heated bed for them to sit on (Common name = Tar Pit) three foot deep out of manure and bark to create warm enough heat for root growth. Its tricky.
