World Series taco giveaway

Posted by Paul Makishima, Globe Assistant Sunday Editor October 22, 2008 07:05 AM

Nothing eases the sting of disappointment over the Sox like a free taco. You know. Like the kind mom used to make.
With the Phillies-Rays series opening tonight (yeah, yeah, who cares, right?), Taco Bell is launching a Steal a Base, Steal a Taco promotion, in which they plan to give out free tacos to mark stolen bases. This is the way it works:
If a player on either team steals a base in Games 1-4 on Oct. 22, 23, 25 or 26, customers can score a free beef taco on Tuesday Oct. 28 from 2 p.m.-6 p.m. at any participating store. If there's a stolen base in Games 5-7, Oct. 27, 29 or 30, the redemption day is Monday Nov. 3 from 2 to 6.
Yes, it's a promotion and, yes, there's there's no shortage of fine print, but if you're jonesing for a free taco . . .
Not sure where the nearest store is or perhaps planning on being on the road on the redemption days? Here's a store locator.
