Why is Taco Bell giving away free tacos?
As part of its "Steal a Base, Steal a Taco" campaign, if a base is stolen by any player for either team during any game of the 2019 World Series championship, Taco Bell says it will offer every person in the U.S. a free taco. The campaign is running in all 50 states and Washington DC.
One person can claim one free taco during the World Series 2019, no matter how many bases are stolen.
Trea Turner, the "Taco Hero" responsible for winning every person in the U.S. a free taco tweeted: "Big win last night...and big win for America because we're all getting free tacos! Swing by @TacoBell on Oct 30th to steal your free Doritos Locos Tacos!"
According to MLB, eight players have now won the U.S. free tacos by stealing a base. The first baseball player to be hailed a "Taco Hero" was Jacoby Ellsbury, who stole a base for Red Sox in Fenway Park in 2007. Other Taco Heroes include Jason Bartlett, a Rays player (2008), Ángel Pagán, Giants (2012), Lorenzo Cain, Royals (2015), Francisco Lindor, Indians (2016), Cameron Maybin, Astros (2017), Mookie Betts, Red Sox, (2018).
Taco Bell was established in 1954 by Glen Bell who created Bell's Drive-In and Taco Tia. By 1967, there were 100 restaurants in the U.S., and in 1970, this number grew to 325. In 1978, Glen Bell sold Taco Bell to PepsiCo Inc. There are now thousands of Taco Bell locations world wide.
