Unlocking the free taco may also be a sign of good luck. According to MLB.com, the “steal a base, steal a taco” promotion has been offered during eight previous World Series. Of those eight World Series, six of the teams to feature a “Taco Hero” (a player who stole a base and unlocked the free taco) went on to win the series.
