We unfortunately know the story all too well by now. Giants fan Bryan Stow was beaten within an inch of his life on opening day 2011 by a pair of cowardly Dodgers fans -- who jumped him from behind.
Stow is still alive and is making progress, which is wonderful news. But in watching the video below, it's very evident that his entire life was changed by the vicious attack. I just can't help but wonder why any human being would want to do this to another human being -- especially over something as trivial as cheering for a different baseball team. Pathetic.
Anyway, the seven-minute video below is well worth the watch -- serving both as some hope for Stow's continued recovery and as a reminder that we should never be taking sports seriously enough to get into a physical confrontation. So before you feel like proving your "manhood" by slugging someone from behind, please think it through. It's just not worth it.

Video footage of a recovering Bryan StowI feel so bad for this guy and his family. All this guy wanted to do was watch a Baseball Game, and dirtbags almost kill him. I never liked people who jump people or sucker punch someone from behind. Sucker punching and jumping someone means your weak and can't fight that person face to face or one on one.. The two guys that did this need to get the death penatly.

Video footage of a recovering Bryan StowIt saddens me to watch this video and think it happend all over a lousy baseball game. We as fans need to take a step back realize its just a game and at the end of the day we deal with the same crap in real life
