This case was all over the Bay Area news when it happened.
The NorCal SoCal sports rivalry goes back decades and is real. I was taught to hate SoCal teams at an early age. But physical violence is ridiculous...

I can't imagine them not having cameras all over in that place so hopefully they have lots of evidence.

Assisted by a walker, the fan donned the Giants' orange and black, the same colors he was wearing 10 years ago when he was beaten and nearly killed.
In 2011, Stow attended an Opening Day game at Dodgers Stadium in Los Angeles. Searching for a taxi back to his hotel with his friends, Stow was blindsided by an attack in the parking lot, his head hitting the ground in a fall as the attackers then kicked his skull and ribs. The paramedic and father of two clung to life in a coma for the next nine months.
Two men were charged in the attack and sentenced to prison in 2014.
After 10 years and what doctors called a miraculous recovery from severe brain and spinal injuries, Stow was on the pitcher's mound Friday. ...
Since the attack, Stow has spoken to communities and schools through the Bryan Stow Foundation, advocating for an end to bullying and fan violence and encouraging people to live kinder lives.
