We can all thank Mookie Betts for free lunch on Thursday.
Because the Boston Red Sox outfielder stole a base during the 2018 World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Taco Bell is handing out free Doritos Locos Tacos from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. at restaurants nationwide.
The deal is part of their annual “Steal a Base, Steal a Taco” promotion, which promises to give out the goods if a player steals a base at any point during the series. This is the seventh year Taco Bell has ran the deal.
Betts wasted no time helping out America. The new “Taco Hero” as the Mexican chain has now crowned him, stole second base during game one in the first inning. The Boston Red Sox also took home a win that night before becoming the World Series champs.

More than 77,000 people were polled in the annual study, which asks for preferences among over 3,000 brands across 300 different categories. This year, Taco Bell beat out Chipotle and Moe’s Southwest Grill, which were both previous winners.
