The 2022 World Series is tied at one game apiece. Game Three between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Houston Astros is tonight (10/31). The Phillies will want to take advantage of the fact that they're playing in their home ballpark for the next three games. Likewise, it will be crucial for the Astros to win at least one of those and send the series back to Houston. But the really important thing is that everyone in America can already get a free taco.

Every October, Taco Bell holds their ‘Steal a Base, Steal a Taco‘ promotion. If and when the first stolen base occurs during the World Series, anybody who wants one can get a free Doritos Locos Taco. This year's "Taco Hero" is the Philadelphia Phillies' left fielder, Kyle Schwarber, who stole second base in Game One at Minute Maid Park in Houston on Friday night (10/28). You can see how it happened below:

According to Chew Boom, the clock is ticking.You must download the Taco Bell app and sign up for Taco Bell Rewards within ten days of the stolen base to redeem your free Doritos Locos Taco. No purchase is necessary to score the taco, but there is a limit of one free taco per registered app user.

If there are two things I love, it's sports and tacos. Even better when the two come together. Thanks, Kyle!

11 Of The Worst Stadium Foods You Shouldn’t Order

For me, baseball is secondary to the beer and food at the stadium. I mean, watching the game is fun but sitting in the sunshine, chatting, and enjoying a cold beer and yummy food makes the game! The folks at Eat This, Not That have checked out the stadiums nationwide to find the foods that you should never order while at a game. And I gotta say, some of these just look nasty!

These foods look like foods you'd try on a dare. The only food on the list that looks ok to me is the massive chicken tender. Outside of that, I'd go with a hot dog or a pretzel if you don't want serious indigestion!

BBQ Reese's Sandwich at Kauffman Stadium (Kansas City Royals)

Just seeing this made my stomach hurt. Why?! And who thought this up? Nothing about this looks good!

Burgh Katsu at PNC Park (Pittsburgh Pirates)

Katsu, which is panko encrusted chicken, or in this case ham, is delicious. And katsu with the kimchi and hoisin sounds amazing. But the addition of the mini pierogies makes no sense. These two things separate would be tasty, but the combo is just too much. 

Veggie Burger Sub at Sofi Stadium (LA Rams/Chargers)

I like a good veggie burger and this sandwich should be good. Veggie burger, pickles, cheese, and ketchup. The problem is the actual veggie burger. It looks so dry! You can tell from the picture that you'll need a beer or some water handy after every bite of this.

Fowl Pole at Choctaw Stadium (Texas Rangers)

Although I'm not a fan of the name, this dish doesn't seem that bad. Of course, I've never tasted a 2 pound chicken tender. If you have kids, you could buy this and they'd be busy the whole game trying to finish it!

Pickle Poutine at Rogers Center (Toronto Blue Jays)

I've never had poutine, but Phil says it's yummy. And I'm a huge fan of pickles, so I thought this dish might be ok. Then I read about the peanut butter gravy. NOPE! That ruins it!

The Pittsburgh Cone at PNC Park (Pittsburgh Pirates)

Everything in this cone I like, but think all of them together would be overwhelming. This is kielbasa, pierogi, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Russian dressing in a giant waffle cone. It's just too much! 

Fluffer Nutter Fries at Fenway Park (Boston Red Sox)

Desert fries? Nope! This dish is sweet potato fries that are topped with crushed peanuts, cilantro, peanut sauce, and fluff sauce. Nothing about this combo sounds appetizing! 

Apple Pie Egg Rolls at Comerica Park (Detroit Tigers)

My guess is this dish tastes similar to a McDonald's Apple Pie. Wonton wrappers are filled with apple pie and then deep fried. Eggrolls are one of my favorite foods, but not everything should be made into an eggroll. Now, apple pie filling in a waffle cone I'd try!

PBJ Burger at Citizens Bank Park (Philadelphia Phillies)

To me, this is just a waste. Why mess up a tasty burger with peanut butter?! This burger is topped with peanut butter, jalapeño jelly, American cheese, and bacon served on a brioche bun. Too much! 

Flamin Hot Cheesesteak at Oakland Coliseum (Oakland A's)

Flaming Hot Cheetos seems like it's been added to almost everything over the last year or so. I don't like Cheetos, so this doesn't seem good to me. And it just looks like a mess to eat!

Sushi At Any Stadium

Sushi at a ballpark just seems like a bad call. Keeping it at the right temperature at a ballpark might be difficult, which means you might get sick.
