Stow to throw out first pitch at SJ Giants home opener

The San Francisco Giants fan beaten outside Dodger Stadium is set to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at the home opener for the San Jose Giants, a team where he used to be a paramedic before he was left brain damaged in the attack four years ago.
