UPDATE: Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts stole second base in the fifth inning of Game 1 against the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday night. Betts also was Taco Bell’s Taco Hero in the 2018 World Series when he stole a base for the Boston Red Sox.
Whether or not you’re a baseball fan, Taco Bell is offering an incentive to pay attention to World Series 2020.
For the ninth year in a row, the fast-food chain will give away free Doritos Locos tacos if a base is stolen during the postseason series with its “Steal a Base, Steal a Taco” promotion. The World Series began Tuesday night with the Tampa Bay Rays facing the Los Angeles Dodgers.

But there’s a change from past years that will allow members of Taco Bell’s new loyalty program the chance to get a freebie faster.
“In a year full of uncertainty and an unprecedented season that started later than typically scheduled, Taco Bell wants to make sure that this year, taco and baseball fans alike don’t have to wait any longer for the chance to score a free taco,” the chain said in a news release.
This year, Taco Bell Loyalty Rewards members can get early access to the free taco “within hours after the first base is stolen in the World Series via a code on the Taco Bell app and to have their own unique redemption period,” the release said.
The taco typically costs $1.89 and for new members to get the app freebie they have to create an account by 8 p.m. EST Tuesday, Oct. 20.
Loyalty members earn points and free food with Taco Bell’s loyalty program that launched in June. New members get a free Doritos Locos Tacos for signing up at www.tacobell.com/rewards or on the app.
According to the release, there will still be the traditional free taco giveaway available in restaurants on Oct. 28 if a base is stolen.
Reminder: Time is running out to have several Taco Bell products like Mexican pizza and items with shredded chicken as they are being removed from the menu in November.
