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 paid off.
Bauers is now a finalist for the Hank Aaron Award, given annually to the outstanding offensive performer 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.
