The Red Sox may be having their way with the Rockies so far in the World Series but I’ll bet the higher-ups in Taco Bell Inc. are hoping this series will go seven games. They’re making a killing with the “Steal a base, Steal a taco” promotion.
Fox mouthpieces Joe Buck and Tim McCarver are gleefully playing along at MLB’s behest.
During Wednesday’s game (from NYT):
“No stolen bases yet in the game,” McCarver said, as David Ortiz batted.
“No free tacos for America,” Buck said. “At some point it’s going to happen.”
Sad to say, I expect that. But MLB has gone the extra step. Now they gotten the players involved. While wired so we can hear their on-the-bench discussion, Royce Clayton and Coco Crisp chatted up the Taco Bell promo.
I wonder how much that was worth to the MLB.
