Jake Bauers, first baseman for the Milwaukee Brewers, was close to walking away from Major League Baseball before deciding to return. That decision has worked out well.
Bauers is now one of the nominees for the Hank Aaron Award, given annually 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.
