One week ago “The Freeze” was the best kept secret in baseball. Since then his fame has exploded like it was shot out of a cannon, which is fitting considering that’s exactly how he runs.
Now though, we’re left to ponder whether his legacy has been damaged beyond repair. Because for all the things he is — fast, well-dressed and full of charisma — he’s not unbeatable.
It’s true. The mighty Freeze has fallen. We saw it with our own eyes. In fact, he was smoked, at least in relative terms, by an able Braves fan during Friday’s second-inning race at SunTrust Park.
