Royce Clayton and Coco Crisp talk tacos

Posted by: Richie Rich in 2007 MLB Playoffs, Announcers, Red Sox

So Taco Bell is running that Steal a Base, Steal a Taco promotion - wherein if there’s a stolen base in the World Series … everyone in America gets a free taco.

In the following video, FOX decided to see if the Red Sox’ Coco Crisp could explain it to his teammate, Royce Clayton.

This might be the most shameless plug in the history of the World Series. But at least you could get a free Taco out of it.

I thought about transcribing it, but you can just hit play again.

I love how Clayton nails the average American’s thought process about the promotion. “That’s cool, but can I get more than one if I hit up two Taco Bells?” You know you were thinking about it, too.

At least the announcers recognized it as being a shameless promotion.

I miss the Yo Quiero Taco Bell dog. “Drop the Chalupa!”

Yeah, I don’t see how Taco Bell would have picked Royce Clayton to pitch their product. Or Coco Crisp for that matter.

You think Francona got these guys together and said “Guys, listen, I know we’re trying to win a World Series, but it’s 13-1. Do me a favor, talk about Taco Bell in the dugout. And do me a favor Royce, act incredulous and if possible, discuss how you could cheat the system while knowing nothing about the particulars of the promotion.”

LOL, Same Night. Coco is priceless. Shameless on the part of the Fox announcers. But maybe that was your point. You need to post the follow-up conversation with Ellsbury. That’s even better. Trust.
