San Francisco Giants third base coach Tim Flannery presented the family of Bryan Stow with $96,000 over the weekend to help with his care as he continues to deal with traumatic injuries and brain damage from being severely beaten outside Dodger Stadium on Opening Day 2011.

Flannery received a heartfelt thank-you voice mail from Stow, who still struggles to put thoughts and words together. The coach is also an accomplished musician.

Flannery and his band, The Lunatic Fringe, recently finished a series of sold-out Northern California concerts benefiting Stow, while all dollars from purchases of Flannery's 1tth album, "Outside Lands," go directly to Stow.

"That was, for me, kind of a gamble," Flannery said. "People always say, 'Well, why don't you just write a check?' I always say, 'Well, I only hit nine home runs in my 10-year career, I can't just write a big check.'

"I did write a check. I wrote a check that produced a new record. ... I'm just playing the music. I'm doing the same thing I always do. For people to come and just continue the love, it's a great, great honor."
