Stolen base? Free taco!
Taco Bell is celebrating the World Series with a Steal a Base, Steal a Taco promotion.
No purchase is necessary, but you can’t just go running down to the local Taco Bell as soon as the base is stolen. There are, as they say, certain restrictions that apply. Here’s just a small portion of the fine print that explains how the promotion works:
If a base is stolen during regulation or extra innings play by any player for either team during any Game, Taco Bell will offer every person in the U.S. the opportunity to obtain one (1) free Crunchy Seasoned Beef Taco (the “Free Taco”) (Approximate Retail Value of each Free Taco: 91¢, prices may vary) at participating Taco Bell® restaurants in the United States on the date designated herein. No product substitution, cash redemption or alternative will be allowed. Only one (1) Free Taco will be permitted per person, regardless of how many bases are stolen during the Games.…
HOW TO OBTAIN A FREE TACO: If an eligible base was stolen during the Games, Taco Bell will make an announcement through selected media channels, including a press release and its Web site (www.tacobell.com), that eligible consumers can obtain their free Crunchy Seasoned Beef Taco on Tuesday, October 28, 2008 (if base is stolen in Games 1-4 on October 22, 23, 25 or 26), OR Monday, November 3, 2008 (if base is stolen in Games 5-7, October 27, 29 or 30), (“Redemption Date”) only. To obtain the Free Taco, consumers must visit any participating Taco Bell® restaurant in one of the fifty (50) United States or the District of Columbia between 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. (local time) on the Redemption Date only and request a Free Crunchy Seasoned Beef Taco. Free Tacos will not be offered on any other date or time, regardless of circumstance. Limit one (1) Free Crunchy Seasoned Beef Taco per person. Participating Taco Bell restaurant manager reserves the right to deny Free Taco to any person he/she reasonably believes has already received a Free Taco or has engaged in any other fraudulent activity.
So it has to be on a certain day, during certain times, etc. etc. etc.
But hey, a free taco is a free taco, right?

well if you want to feel really fat, you can just go to as many dayton area taco bells between the hours of 2 and 6 pm… you should be able to hit at least 15 or so if you drive fast enough

They did this last year, too. I got mine and it was yummy. Just put the dates on your calendar right now and check the website when the day comes. So it looks like we have the opportunity to get two tacos if a base is stolen in games 1-4 and again in 5-7, doesn’t it? We’d have to go on both designated days, but a free taco is a free taco.
