Francisco Lindor is 'Taco Hero' of World Series Game One
The Indians shortstop showed why he is the American League leader in stolen bases and a hero to free taco enthusiasts everywhere.

CLEVELAND, OH — Francisco Lindor had an epic first inning in Game One of the World Series in Cleveland. He started out with a single, stole second base and scored one of the two runs in the inning.
On Nov. 2nd, people everywhere will be grateful for that stolen base because it won a free Doritos Locos Taco for everyone on that day from 2-6 p.m. as part of Taco Bell's nationwide promotion. The feat also earned Lindor the title of "Taco Hero" for the 2016 World Series.
There isn't a reason to root for another stolen base in Game 2 unless you're a Cubs or Indians fan, but if there's another stolen base in Games 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 (spoiler: there will be), then America gets another round of free tacos on Thursday, Nov. 10.
