If you’re going to The Freeze, you better be able to run – and run fast.
Unfortunately for one Atlanta Braves fan on Thursday, he mocked The Freeze and it backfired in spectacular fashion.
During Braves games, The Freeze drives a fan along the warning track in the outfield. The Fan always gets a massive lead, but The Freeze almost always catches up and wins the race.

This fan, as he started driving the left field foul line while getting his lead, decided to turn around and give The Freeze a kiss. Big mistake.
When the fan then started to run but did not reach top speed. Then he turned to see The Freeze gaining ground quickly and kicked into a higher gear.
Unfortunately for him, it was too little, too late.

The Freeze blew past the fan and gave him a kiss as he flew by.
Leaving the fan in the dust, The Freeze turned on the cruise control and slowed down a bit before racing through the finish line along the right field foul line.
The Braves themselves are trying to avoid being like the fan and blowing a big lead. They are 61-42 and lead the National League East by 5.5 games over the Philadelphia Phillies.
