Longtime radio host Tom Leykis said Thursday he was pledging $50,000 toward the reward for information on the suspects who attacked a San Francisco Giants fan in a Dodger Stadium parking lot last week.
Leykis' pledge increases the reward fund to at least $150,000, including $50,000 offered by the Los Angeles City Council and $25,000 by the Dodgers. Bryan Stow, the fan whose skull was fractured in the beating, remains in critical condition at Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center.
In a telephone interview, Leykis called the incident "heartbreaking" and said he was "shocked" that the Dodgers offered $25,000, given that court papers filed in the divorce of Frank and Jamie McCourt showed the couple took $108 million in personal distributions from Dodgers revenues from 2004 to 2009.
"I want to offer double what the Dodgers are offering," Leykis said.

I was just listening to John and Ken’s podcast which is also available on their website and they have pointed out time and time again that the McCourts do NOT give a rip.
Like I pointed out on another thread, I;ve been to Dodger Stadium and it’s a LA Raza culture. It was no coincidence that the LAT ran a story a few weeks back that season ticket-holders have already canceled due to safety. The only good thing I can say about the Dodgers is that I actually met and had a conversation with Joe Torre when he was still managing the Dodgers...and conversed with him at a Starbucks here in West Hollywood.
Anyone who goes to any ball game in Mexifornia is asking for it.
Say what you want about Tom but he will put his money where his mouth is.
Good on ya Tom.
If they get an ID on these suspects good luck finding them south of the border. They're long gone.
Wow, he is a left wing obnoxious jerk. And that is being nice to him.
I agree with.
“If they get an ID on these suspects good luck finding them south of the border. They’re long gone.”
The suspects are described as male hispanic (MEXICAN)with shaved heads and baggy pants about 5 feet 8 inches tall. There are more than a million cholos in LA who fit that description.
Nice for someone to put up a bigger reward
I am troubled by the lack of mention in the media that two perps were MEXICAN and the victim was WHITE. If it was the other way around...the media would be calling it a Hate Crime
Too much pandering to La Raza and the Mexican KKK groups. This obviously was more a race crime than a sports crime.
This entire incident is appalling and disgusting.
The people who were injured should sue the owners of the stadium for their lax security.
