The Freeze's reign is over.
After famously turning an Atlanta Braves fan to dust last week, establishing himself as the game's undisputed between-innings-sprint champion in a footrace for the ages, The Freeze - a member of the Braves' grounds crew named Nigel Talton - was dethroned Friday at SunTrust Park, where another fan was able to defeat the seemingly impregnable, costumed track star.
Per the rules, of course, the fan got roughly a 200-foot head start, but he still gets to tell his grandchildren he beat The Freeze.
