Four years after two Dodgers fans viciously attacked a San Francisco Giants fan, his inspiring recovery was broadcast for all to see. Bryan Stow, who suffered severe brain damage that day, threw the first pitch at a minor league baseball game.
The former Santa Cruz paramedic and father of two stood in the middle of the field and gracefully threw the ball. His effort received an overwhelming amount of applause.
But that wasn’t his only surprise: Just wait till you hear what he tells reporters at the :40 mark!
Like Mandy Curran, who survived when no one thought she would, and a baby who lived despite fear of him being stillborn, Stow's story is incredible.
In March 2011, he was one of three Giants fans that were attacked in the Dodger Stadium’s parking lot after the home team won 2–1 on opening day. The attackers were sentenced to several years in prison.
Stow was in a wheelchair for years after the incident, but now he’s able to move around using a walker, as seen in the video below.
His neurosurgeon Dr. Gabriel Zada called his state “miraculous.”
"It's a relatively rare case to see that dramatic of a recovery," she told San Jose Mercury News. "He really came as close to dying as anyone I've seen in my 12 years."
Watch his amazing pitch below and please SHARE Stow’s inspirational story with everyone you know!
