Jake Bauers, first baseman for the Milwaukee Brewers, was nearly ready to quit from Major League Baseball before choosing to come back. That decision has proven to be the right call.
Bauers is now one of the nominees for the Hank Aaron Award, awarded every season to the best hitter in each league.
The Brewers are now competing 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.
