Jake Bauers, first baseman for the Milwaukee Brewers, was close to walking away from Major League Baseball before making the call to stick with it. That decision has paid off.
Bauers is now in the running for the Hank Aaron Award, handed out each year 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.
