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 in the running for the Hank Aaron Award, given annually to the top offensive player in each league.
The Brewers are playing through the National League Division Series against the San Diego Padres. Game 3 goes Tuesday, October 7 at 9:30 p.m. ET on FS1.
