‘The Freeze’ flops at baseball’s All-Star Game
The Braves’ Ender Inciarte wasn’t the only Atlanta representative at baseball’s All-Star Game Tuesday night.
“The Freeze,” a member of the Braves grounds crew who dons a costume and races fans around the outfield warning track during a break in games between innings at SunTrust Park, got smoked in his first All-Star appearance.
Nigel Talton, who was a sprinter in college at Kennesaw State, gave the fan a large lead, as is his honorable custom, but he could not make up the difference this time at Marlins Park in Miami. It wasn't even close.
Take a look at the video and Twitter reaction:
