ARLINGTON, Texas - The moment Mookie Betts of the Los Angeles Dodgers stole second base during the 5th inning of Game 1 of the 2020 World Series on October 20, taco lovers went wild! Betts just scored free tacos for Americans everywhere.
For the ninth year in a row, Taco Bell's 'Steal a Base, Steal a Taco' promotion went into full effect after Mookie Betts' base steal. The fast-food chain will now offer every person in America a free Doritos Locos Taco, since a base was stolen during the World Series.
In the fourth inning, fans thought the tacos were going to be free when the Dodgers' Chris Taylor slid into second base before he was tagged. However, it was ruled a wild pitch instead of a stolen base.
Taco Bell confirms on their website that the stolen base was legit, and anyone can get their taco on Wednesday, October 28, while supplies last. The free taco offer is valid for store pickup all day via online or the mobile app for registered users of tacobell.com or the Taco Bell App.
