Dodgers Official Bankruptcy Creditors Committee to Include Beating Victim

The Los Angeles Dodgers official creditors’ committee will include representatives of the man beaten after the team’s first home win, an attack that helped prompt Major League Baseball to appoint a monitor over the team, according to U.S. Bankruptcy Court records.

The family of the man who was beaten, Bryan Stow, sued the Dodgers and team owner Frank McCourt in May. The attack drew widespread media coverage and was one reason Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig appointed a monitor to oversee the team, Dodgers’ attorney Bruce Bennett said at a court hearing.

Others on the official committee of creditors include AVM Systems Limited Partnership, KABC Radio LLC, Major League Baseball Players Association and fireworks company Pyro Events, Inc., according to a filing by the Office of the U.S. Trustee, an arm of the Department of Justice that monitors bankruptcies.

The Dodgers filed for bankruptcy on June 27 after Selig rejected a proposed television-rights deal McCourt negotiated with News Corp. (NWSA)’s Fox Sports.
