The World Series Just Stole Free Tacos For The Entire Country

BOSTON, MA — Mookie Betts will likely be the MVP of the American League. If not, he'll have to settle for the MVP of America.

The Red Sox scored the first run of the World Series before an out was recorded Tuesday night, but they stole free tacos for the entire country even prior to that. Mookie Betts swiped second base after his leadoff single in bottom of the first inning, setting Boston up for its first run and America for minor indigestion.

The promotion is part of Taco Bell's annual 'Steal a Base, Steal a Taco' giveaway. Essentially, the whole country gets one free Doritos Locos Taco on Nov. 1 between 2-6 p.m. local time, just because a base was stolen during the World Series.

This is the seventh straight year Taco Bell is throwing free tacos at people. What a time to be alive.
