The Atlanta Braves have the fastest man in baseball. Nigel Talton is one of the most popular celebrities in the state of Georgia and he has been a viral sensation across Major League Baseball since 2017. Nigel is known to Braves fans as “The Freeze” and when he isn’t raking the infield dirt or cutting the outfield grass as his full-time Grounds Crew job requires of him, he is sprinting at olympic speed against unsuspecting Braves fans along the team’s warning track wall during a designed mid-game in stadium promotion created to captivate the 41,000 fans in attendance at Truist Park. On this podcast, Nigel joins us as our guest to talk about how he became a spandex-wearing wonder and what it was like when the world’s fastest man, Usain Bolt said, “The Freeze is too quick for me”…Nigel is one of the nicest guys you will meet and his story is inspiring! We spent time with him at a Braves game a few years ago. Enjoy this interview and be sure to catch a Braves game next year so you can see The Freeze live in action!--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/appSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thebrothersbrandt/support
