Jake Bauers, first baseman for the Milwaukee Brewers, was on the verge of leaving from Major League Baseball before choosing to come back. 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 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.
