TEAMS: San Diego Padres
PLAYERS: Brian Giles

The ex-girlfriend of San Diego Padres outfielder Brian Giles is suing him for more than $10 million, alleging he caused her miscarriage by beating her in 2002.

The lawsuit was filed by Cheri Olvera December 5 and reported by the San Diego Tribune on December 16. According to the Associated Press:

The lawsuit accuses him of hitting and slapping her in the face, shaking and kicking her, and battering her twice when she was pregnant with Giles' child.

Coincidentally, the alleged battery was occurring during the same time period of Giles' most productive seasons at the plate. From 1999-2002, he hit more than 35 HRs each year, while his other 10 seasons in MLB failed to produce anything more than 23 HRs in a single season. We'll let you take it from there.
