BOSTON (Reuters) - Many Americans will be wagering on this week's baseball World Series. For Taco Bell, the stakes are a free taco for everyone in the United States.
The fast-food chain on Monday unveiled a promotion it is calling "Steal a Base, Steal a Taco," which will run through the best-of-seven matchup.
"Millions and millions of people will be watching the Series and hopefully tuning in to see when they are going to get their taco," said Taco Bell spokesman Rob Poetsch.
There has been at least one stolen base in every World Series matchup since 1990. When the first base is stolen, the unit of Yum Brands Inc, will announce a Tuesday afternoon when consumers will be able to walk into the chain's participating 5,800 outlets and ask for a free taco. Anyone who walks into a participating outlet during the give-away period would be eligible for a free taco.
Despite the promotion's name, stealing the taco will not be required.

Irvine-based Taco Bell Corp. announced this morning that it will give a free taco to "everyone in America" if any player steals a base during the 2007 Major League Baseball World Series, which--as usual--won't include the Dodgers.
The item at stake is the crunchy beef taco valued at 77 cents.
Here's the particulars: If a base is stolen in games one or two, the free tacos will be available on Tuesday, Oct. 30. If a base is stolen in games three through seven, the tacos will be available on Tuesday, Nov. 6. Consumers must visit a Taco Bell between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. on the redemption date.
And no: company officials say you can't have more than one for free.

That's not a taco...that's diarrhea wrapped in paper.

I was waiting for Taco Bell to pull one of these stunts again.
Anyone remember back a few years ago when the MIR space station returned to earth? Taco Bell put a huge floating target out in the ocean and was going to give everyone in America a free taco if the target was hit.
They even took out a huge Insurance policy on it just in case the MIR hit the target.
Quote:
In March of 2001, Taco Bell announced a promotion to coincide with the re-entry of the Mir space station. They towed a large target out into the Pacific Ocean, announcing that if the target was hit by a falling piece of Mir, every person in the United States would be entitled to a free Taco Bell taco. The company bought a sizable insurance policy for this "gamble."[8] No piece of the station struck the target.
