Did you get yours?

With his stolen base Thursday night, Red Sox outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury earned everyone in the country a free taco from Taco Bell on Tuesday, Oct. 30, between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. (thanks to Taco Bell's "Steal a Base, Steal a Taco" promotion).

Ellsbury's taco jackpot (Thanks, Jacoby!) inspired Boston.com user Jeff Dockum to come up with this nickname for the young speedster and create this image.

According to Forbes, Taco Bell is now on the hook for potentially $233.5 million as the current US population is 303.2 million. Forbes states Taco Bell's US sales last year were $6.3 billion. So I think they could stand to give away a few tacos - after all the markup on a 20oz soda is 300%.
