The Royals’ schedule this year includes games against the National League East teams, so they’ll be in Atlanta for a two-game series in July.

That will give the team a chance to watch Nigel Talton do his thing.

Talton is better known as The Freeze, and the man behind arguably the most popular in-game attraction in Major League Baseball.
