$50,000 dollar award for Giants Beating
After Dodgers Opening Day, Giants fan Bryan Stow was badly beaten by two Dodger fans. Bryan is now in a coma. Doctors had to remove a piece of his scull to reduce pressure on his brain. A co worker of Stow said that he will never be the same again.
He went to the game to proudly cheer for his 2010 world series champions but sadly he did not know that he would get beat up by two dodger fans who police say are between the ages of 18-25. They escaped in a four-door sedan with a woman and a child in the car.
Giants fans were not the only ones who were filled with sorrow so were dodger fans. Many dodger fans feel bad because those dodger fans give other dodger fans a bad name.
A reward was posted on Tuesday, for 50,000 for anyone who has any information.
