Jake Bauers, first baseman for the Milwaukee Brewers, was nearly ready to quit from Major League Baseball before making the call to stick with it. That decision has worked out well.
Bauers is now in the running for the Hank Aaron Award, handed out each year to the best hitter 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.
