The man accused of beating a San Francisco Giants<\/strong> fan to a pulp at Dodger Stadium<\/strong> says he was doing domestic stuff at the time of the incident — babysitting his young daughter and another child.<\/p>\n

\"Giovanni<\/p>\n

Giovanni Ramirez<\/strong> — who was arrested Sunday for allegedly beating Bryan Stow<\/strong> so badly he suffered brain damage — claims he was at home with the girl and, as we previously reported, has 3 alibi witnesses to prove it … so says his lawyer, Chip Matthews<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The 3 alibi witnesses are his ex-girlfriend, who left Ramirez at the apartment to go to the game, along with 2 friends.\u00a0 Interestingly, the ex-girlfriend is a suspect in the case — cops believe she may have been the getaway driver.<\/p>\n

Matthews tells TMZ … there are several pictures of the group at Dodger Stadium and Ramirez is not in any of the photos.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And, a source familiar with the case tells TMZ, Ramirez had a highly-visible tattoo removed from his neck after the incident, and cops believe it shows a guilty state of mind so he couldn’t be ID’d.\u00a0 But Ramirez says he removed the tattoo of his ex-girlfriend’s lips because his new girlfriend didn’t like it.<\/p>\n

Attorney Matthews adds …\u00a0 Ramirez is covered in tattoos so removing one wouldn’t make a difference.<\/p>\n
