If you follow baseball, you know all about “The Freeze,” the costumed guy who races fans at Atlanta Braves games. Well, Alabama wide receiver Calvin Ridley certainly has heard about “The Freeze” — and he wants him.
I'm getting the head start

“The Freeze” actually is Nigel Talton, a member of the Braves’ grounds crew who also is an aspiring Olympics sprinter.
The fan is given a head start, then Talton runs them down to win the race. Well, he almost always runs them down: He lost his race Friday night.
