Jake Bauers, first baseman for the Milwaukee Brewers, was nearly ready to quit from Major League Baseball before deciding to return. That decision has proven to be the right call.
Bauers is now a finalist for the Hank Aaron Award, awarded every season to the outstanding offensive performer in each league.
The Brewers are currently in the National League Division Series against the San Diego Padres. Game 3 goes Tuesday, October 7 at 9:30 p.m. ET on FS1.
