Beaten Giants fan in coma – has a long road to recovery

By Allan

The San Francisco Giants fan that was brutally beaten last week after a game with the Los Angeles Dodgers is in critical condition. Doctors have said that “There is evidence of brain injury and dysfunction.”   ESPN reports that doctors at Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center said that 42 year-old father of two, Bryan Stow, suffered a severe skull fracture and bad bruising to his brain’s frontal lobes and his long recovery process may include issues with memory, thinking ability and personality.

Between the Giants, Dodgers, Los Angeles County, American Medical Response and a handful of other entities, a reward of $100,000 has been offered for information leading to the capture of the two shaven-headed young men that are suspected of beating Stow after last week’s game.  Stow was headed to a taxi stand when the two young men began to taunt him and swear at him and other Giants fans.  Stow was punched in the back of the head, fell to the pavement and was kicked before the attackers ran off.

Sketches of the two victims can be seen here.

The Giants plan to honor Stow by dedicating Monday’s game against the Dodgers in San Francisco to him.  The team will collect donations from fans to support Stow and his family.  Stow will also get a tribute from the team in a special ceremony before the game.
