Jake Bauers, first baseman for the Milwaukee Brewers, was on the verge of leaving from Major League Baseball before making the call to stick with it. That decision has paid off.
Bauers is now one of the nominees for the Hank Aaron Award, awarded every season 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.
