Taco Bell 'Steal a Base, Steal a Taco' history

An American tradition that began in 2007, Marte became the 12th "Taco Hero" in MLB history. Marte will also hope the honor will bring good luck to the Diamondbacks, as the team the "Taco Hero" was on has gone 8-3 in the World Series.

Here's the history of each World Series "Taco Hero" since the tradition began: 

2022: Kyle Schwarber, Philadelphia Phillies

Schwarber was the last "Taco Hero" after he stole second base during the seventh inning of Game 1 in the 2022 World Series against the Houston Astros.

The Astros would win the series 4-2.

2021: Ozzie Albies, Atlanta Braves

The 2021 stolen base happened just three batters into the series. After getting an infield single in the first inning of Game 1 against the Houston Astros, Albies stole second base to quickly become the "Taco Hero."

The Braves would win the World Series 4-2.

2020: Mookie Betts, Los Angeles Dodgers

Betts became the first two-time "Taco Hero" after he stole second in the fifth inning of Game 1 against the Tampa Bay Rays. He had previously done it in 2018.

The Dodgers would win the series 4-2 in Arlington.

2019: Trea Turner, Washington Nationals

It was another quick stolen base in 2019, courtesy of Turner. After reaching base on the second pitch of Game 1 against the Astros, he immediately stole second to earn everyone a free taco. Postgame, he added it was a goal of his.

"My mom was asking me to win free tacos," Turner said. "I didn't want to get yelled at so I figured I'd steal the base."

The Nationals would defeat the Astros in seven games for the title.

2018: Mookie Betts, Boston Red Sox

Betts got his first honor in the bottom half of the first inning of Game 1 of the World Series in 2018 against the Dodgers. After a lead off single, he stole second base on the next pitch.

The Red Sox won the title in five games.

2017: Cameron Maybin, Houston Astros

One of the latest stolen bases, Maybin singled in the 11th-inning of Game 2 against the Dodgers, and would eventually steal second base. His score that inning would also be the go-ahead run after George Springer hit a homer with him on base.

The Astros would win the World Series in seven games.

2016: Francisco Lindor, Cleveland

Lindor stole a base in the bottom of the first inning in Game 1 of the 2016 World Series against the Chicago Cubs. His stolen bass even made then-President Barack Obama happy.

2015: Lorenzo Cain, Kansas City Royals

The Royals outfielder stole second base in the bottom of the sixth inning of Game 1 against the New York Mets in Game 1. This was the only time the stolen base wasn't for a taco, as America got free Taco Bell A.M. crunchwraps for the "Steal a Base, Steal a Breakfast" promotion. Cain would also proclaim he'd get Taco Bell for everyone after a grueling five-hour game.

"Who wants Taco Bell?" Cain said afterwards. "It's on me."

The Royals won the series 4-1.

2012: Ángel Pagán, San Francisco Giants
