Braves’ masked superhero stumbles and still defeats another fan in mid-game race
The Freeze is ... ice cold.
During Atlanta Braves games, there’s a mid-game entertainment break called “Beat the Freeze,” where one (un)lucky fan races against a superhero named The Freeze. A fan gets a 200-foot head start, and is then followed by The Freeze, who will certainly embarrass said fan. On Friday, we witnessed one fan who thought he had the race in the bag, until he celebrated prematurely and faceplanted when he saw The Freeze pull ahead of him.
Saturday saw the return of The Freeze, who yet again embarrassed another fan, who inexplicably wore the same outfit as the guy from Friday. The Freeze stumbled at the start of the race, the fan gave his best shot — he didn’t even celebrate early, learning from the previous guy’s mistakes — and the fan still lost.
According to Cut4, The Freeze’s real identity is a Braves grounds crew member named Nigel Talton, who ran track at Kennesaw State. So unless you’re a track runner in disguise, or if Segways are legal in “Beat The Freeze,” there’s a good chance you will never beat him.
