Atlanta Braves The Freeze gets challenged by former Braves pitcher and his response was fantastic!

The newest “mascot” — maybe you can call him that — or at least the newest attraction swirling around the majors and the internet is Atlanta Braves’ own The Freeze.

Never heard of him? Well, that would be surprising.

The Freeze’s real name is Nigel Talton and was a track star at Peach County High School in Fort Valley, Georgia. He then went on to run track at Iowa Western Community College and Shorter University in Rome, Georgia. The 26-year-old is a former member of the Braves’ grounds crew.

Why are we talking about him? Because the dude is fast and he’s beating almost everyone in this foot race.
