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 proven to be the right call.
Bauers is now one of the nominees 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.
