Record-Setting FIU Baseball Player Garrett Wittels Charged With Rape

Last season, Florida International infielder Garrett Wittels made national headlines when he finished the season on a 56-game hitting streak, two games shy of Robin Ventura’s 58-game record.

Now, Wittels is making headlines of a different kind. The baseball player has been charged with rape in the Bahamas, according to court officials in the islands’ capital.
