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 proven to be the right call.
Bauers is now in the running for the Hank Aaron Award, awarded every season 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.
