Giants fan throws ceremonial first pitch 10 years after a near-fatal attack
CNN
Bryan Stow triumphantly held up a baseball before throwing the ceremonial first pitch at the San Francisco Giants' home opener Friday.
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.More Related News
