'The Freeze' lost a race, but it's still a can't-miss MLB promotion

You probably caught the viral video from last week, when "The Freeze" burst onto the national scene thanks to his fellow competitor stumbling to the finish line.

(If not, enjoy it again above.)

But for those new the Atlanta Braves' mid-inning promotion, it's simple: A guy who's really, really fast gives a fan a 200-foot head start in a race around the warning track.

And then "The Freeze" -- wearing an outfit straight out of "The Incredibles" -- runs them down before the finish line. (Well, almost all of them.)

On Friday night, the light blue blur was defeated, something that hadn't happened since Opening Day.
