If you’re going to go at The Freeze, you better be able to run \u2013 and run fast.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for an Atlanta Braves fan on Thursday, he taunted The Freeze, and it blew up in spectacular fashion.<\/p>\n

During Braves games, The Freeze races a fan along the warning track in the outfield. The fan always gets a massive head start, but The Freeze almost always catches up and wins the race.<\/p>\n

This fan, as he began to run the left field foul line while getting his head start, decided to turn and blow The Freeze a kiss. Big mistake.<\/p>\n

As the fan then began running but didn\u2019t hit top speed. He then turned around, saw The Freeze gaining ground quickly, and kicked into a higher gear.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for him, it was too little, too late.<\/p>\n

The Freeze blew by the fan and returned the favor, blowing him a kiss as he flew on by.<\/p>\n

After leaving the fan in the dust, The Freeze turned on cruise control and slowed it down a little bit before racing through the finish line along the right field foul line.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
