The Giants are matching the $10,000 reward for information that will help catch the people who savagely beat Bryan Stow as he left the Dodger stadium last week.

Over the weekend, Los Angeles County Supervisor Mike Antonovich offered the $10,000 reward money and said he wants more security and less booze at the ballpark.

Meanwhile, Stow, 42, remains in critical condition with a medically induced coma. His friends and family have started a Facebook page to raise money to pay his medical bills.

The team has also offered to assist with fundraising, including a barbecue on Wednesday at American Medical Response, where Stow works as a paramedic.

Stow was walking to his car after the opener between the Giants and the Dodgers on Thursday in Los Angeles when some people wearing Dodgers clothes started following him. They heckled him and then pushed him to the ground and beat him, police said.

Los Angeles Police have released sketches of suspects who are still on the loose. They are reviewing surveillance cameras, but detectives have said the footage is rather useless.

Dodgers Owner Frank McCourt said the beating was an isolated event and insisted that security that night was "appropriate." Giants have said they plan to increase security for next week's game when the Dodgers are here.

On Monday, the team's communications staff offered to assist with fundraisers for the family, including a barbeque Wednesday from noon to 8 p.m. at American Medical Response, where Stow works as a paramedic. The organization is located at 1670 Las Plumas Ave. in San Jos

$10,000 is all the Giants are coming up with on the reward money. What a joke. How about $ 1,000,000 you bunch of phonies. And where are the ''DODGERS.'

I have been a Dodger Fan all my life and my father before me since they moved to Los Angeles from Brooklyn with the Giants. It is tradiiton for my family to go to a game as a group fundrasier each year with our children and friends. We too at times feel fearful at the rowdy crowd that seems to have taken over stadium. I don't ever remember being afraid going there as a teenager in the 70's with friends.

Unfortunately, the owners would never think of banning the sale of beer which could prevent most of these horrible events from happening within the stadium and in the surrounding grounds. How many more good people like Bryan must be harmed before they put fan safely before revenue. This is not the first time someone was injured by opposing fans.

Please know that I know I speak for the majority of Dodger fans, and we are praying for his recovery and for the capture of the men who acted in this cowardly act. I am ashamed that they wore Dodger colors, they are not worthy. Their behavior is not what Baseball Tradition is about and what are children should be learning about sportmanship.

We are all part of the human race under God. This is the message we must display. Bryan's family has displayed this at their time of trial. My heart goes out to Bryan's family and friends, and I will keep him and them in my prayers daily.
