An image of Dodger Stadium beating victim Bryan Stow (C) is shown on the scoreboard before a MLB National League baseball game between San Francisco Giants and St. Louis Cardinals in San Francisco, California, April 8, 2011. Stow who drove more than 300 miles from Santa Cruz to Los Angeles to watch his beloved Giants play the Dodgers on Opening Day last week, was attacked and beaten in the parking lot by two men after the game. The 42-year-old paramedic and father of two, who was apparently assaulted because he wore Giants garb, remains in a coma and listed in critical condition at a local hospital.

There’s more sad news about Bryan Stow this weekend.
According to report by FOX Sports.com, the 41-year-old Giants fan who was brutally assaulted on March 31 at Dodger Stadium was placed back into a medically induced coma on Saturday due to “a recurrence of seizures” related to his head trauma.
Bryan Stow remains in critical condition, according to Rosa Saca, spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County + University of Southern California Medical Center.
Stow, 42, will be monitored closely for the next few days to see when it may be possible to reduce the medication again, Saca said. Stow sustained possible brain damage in the attack.
I have no idea what Stow’s family is going through but they continue to be in my thoughts. Hopefully Bryan continues to fight and eventually, his family will get to speak to him soon.
It’s a shame that the animals that did this haven’t been caught yet. A reward of at least $120,000 has been promised for information leading to the arrests of the two thugs responsible. Justice needs to be served here, although the more important thing is that Bryan be able to make a recovery.
On a side note, kudos to those who have raised or donated money to help pay for Stow’s medical expenses. The specific numbers aren’t important, but the Giants and Dodgers have raised and donated money, as has pitcher Tim Lincecum. Every little bit helps.
