ATLANTA — Remember when Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies stole a base (and subsequently our hearts and stomachs) in Game 1 of the World Series? That steal triggered Taco Bell’s annual “Steal a Base, Steal a Taco” promotion and it’s time to cash in.
Taco Bell is giving away free Doritos® Locos Tacos on Thursday, Nov. 4, courtesy of Albies. The promotion runs all day long, in stores, online and in the app.
Albies is the latest to join an elite crowd of just 10 players that have stolen a taco for America since the “Steal a Base, Steal a Taco” promotion began in 2007. Interestingly enough, this is the fourth year in a row that the taco-winning steal has happened in Game 1 of the World Series.
The 10 taco heroes include:
2007: Jacoby Ellsbury, Boston Red Sox2008: Jason Barlett, Tampa Bay Rays2012: Ángel Pagán, San Francisco Giants2015: Lorenzo Cain, Kansas City Royals2016: Francisco Lindor, Cleveland Indians2017: Cameron Maybin, Houston Astros2018: Mookie Betts, Boston Red Sox2019: Trea Turner, Washington Nationals2020: Mookie Betts, Los Angeles Dodgers 2021: Ozzie Albies, Atlanta Braves
