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 worked out well.
Bauers is now in the running for the Hank Aaron Award, given annually 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.
