World Series 2016: When is Taco Bell giving out free tacos?
By Brad Weiss
Everyone likes free, especially when it is tacos. Here is what you need to know about how to get your free tacos from Taco Bell.
During the 2016 World Series, Taco Bell ran a fantastic offer for those out there who love tacos. Titled “Steal a Base, Steal a Taco,” the company said they would give away a free taco if there was a stolen base in Game 1 or 2 of the World Series.
Luckily for taco lovers, Cleveland Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor stole a bag in Game 1, locking in the free offer. It did not take long for Lindor to do it, either, as he swiped second base in the first inning of Game 1. The Indians would go on to win the game, but it was really the entire country who were winners on that night.
The tacos will be given out at participating restaurants on Wednesday, November 2, from 2pm to 6pm nationwide. Customers will receive a Doritos Locos Taco, and there is no purchase necessary. It is the sixth time the company has given away free tacos during a World Series.

Last year, Taco Bell ran the same promotion during the World Series between the Kansas City Royals and New York Mets. In that series, Lorenzo Cain was the hero, swiping a bag in the bottom of the sixth inning of a Game 1 victory against the Mets. Apparently, Cain was pretty pumped about the free taco.
On Tuesday night, the Chicago Cubs forced a Game 7, and are looking to come back from a 3-1 deficit. The team was led by Addison Russell, who drove in six runs in the game. The Cubs will turn to Kyle Hendricks to complete the comeback, but he will have to get past Indians’ ace Corey Kluber. It should make for some exciting baseball on Wednesday night.
