A Taco Bell sign is pictured in San Juan, Puerto Rico on Jan. 26, 2015. Peter Johansky —Getty Images  by [Eliana Dockterman](https://time.com/author/eliana-dockterman/)  ## Eliana Dockterman Correspondent Oct 28, 2015 12:27 AM UTC There will be extra pressure on World Series players to take a risk on Tuesday night. Taco Bell is offering free breakfast to everyone in America if someone steals a base during the series between the New York Mets and Kansas City Royals. The fast-food chain is offering fans and non-fans alike a free A.M. Crunchwrap. It’s an impressive marketing feat for the fast-food chain considering that a base is likely to be stolen at least once during the series. So far in this postseason, the Mets have stolen nine bases and the Royals have stolen seven, [according to](http://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2015/10/27/taco-bell-world-series-stolen-base-free-breakfast-mets-royals) _Sports Illustrated_. > [](https://twitter.com/Mets/status/659010416085876740) If a base is stolen in the first two days, free breakfast will be offered on Nov. 5\. If someone steals a base in the last four games, the fast-food chain will serve free breakfast on Nov. 10. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4090042/taco-bell-world-series/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4090042/taco-bell-world-series/"},"headline":"Taco Bell Will Give Everyone Free Breakfast if There's a Stolen Base in the World Series","datePublished":"2015-10-28T00:27:33.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:26:23.991Z","description":"All of America gets an A.M.
