‘The Freeze’ sizzles in baseball’s London series

Atlanta’s in-between inning sensation “The Freeze” made his international debut Saturday in London during the Boston Red Sox-New York Yankees game.

It did not end the Freeze’s favor, with Jason from New York edging out the track runner by a nose.

“The Freeze” is a member of the Braves grounds crew who dons a costume and races fans around the outfield warning track at SunTrust Park.

The Freeze avenged the outcome Sunday, against Chris from London — who appropriately wore a Braves’ Hank Aaron jersey.

Nigel Talton, who was a sprinter in college at Kennesaw State, has become a baseball attraction. In 2017, he appeared during the All-Star Game in Miami.
