Jake Bauers, first baseman for the Milwaukee Brewers, was on the verge of leaving from Major League Baseball before deciding to return. That decision has paid off.
Bauers is now a finalist for the Hank Aaron Award, awarded every season to the best hitter 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.
