So your favorite baseball team didn’t make it to the postseason? It’s OK — neither did mine.
But even if you’re not invested in this year’s World Series matchup, there’s a good reason to pay attention: potential free food.
When someone steals a base during the World Series, Taco Bell will reward fans with a free Doritos Locos Taco.

If a player steals a base in the first two games of the World Series, which starts on Tuesday, Oct. 25, head to Taco Bell on Wednesday, Nov. 2 for your reward.
If a stolen base happens in game three through seven, you can pick up your free taco on Thursday, Nov. 10. The tricky part: You need to visit your local Taco Bell between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m.
Don’t want to stay up late watching baseball? You can always check Taco Bell’s Steal a Base, Steal a Taco website for confirmation of your free taco payday.
The Doritos Locos Taco usually costs $1.49. One taco per fan, regardless of how many bases get stolen.
There’s no guarantee you’ll get to redeem this crunchy reward. Last year, Kansas City Royals player Lorenzo Cain stole a base and earned the gratitude of millions of Penny Hoarders. But prior to that, the last “taco hero” was the San Francisco Giants’ Angel Pagan in the 2012 World Series.
What are your odds for this World Series? I’m not a betting woman, but here are some stats. The American League contender, the Cleveland Indians, have stolen a collective three bases in the postseason alone.
While the National League Championship Series is still playing out, both teams look like solid options.
The Chicago Cubs have stolen three bases in postseason play, with two from powerhouse third-baseman Javier Baez. The Los Angeles Dodgers have stolen a whopping nine bases in the postseason alone, with three from right-fielder Joshua Reddick.
Tensions can run high during World Series play, but one thing’s for sure: These teams will do anything for the title. I’d expect at least a few stolen base attempts.
So it might be worth keeping your eye on this World Series, if for nothing else but the taco potential.
