When will we as a society learn not to celebrate before the finish line?
Friends, the answer is perhaps never. And the latest premature celebrator to fall is one Atlanta Braves fan, who was selected to run a footrace with the Freeze.
As is tradition for this particular event, the fan was given a 200-foot head start on the superhero -- and at first, he ran so fast! In fact, it seemed like he might win! But hubris got the better of him, and as he approached the finish line, the fan started celebrating a little too early.
