Brock Holt doubles down on his distaste for Taco Bell
Brock Holt speaks during media availability ahead of the 2018 World Serie.You won’t catch Red Sox utility man Brock Holt at Taco Bell on Nov. 1.
The fast-food chain will be dishing out free Doritos Locos Tacos between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. that day, as part of their “Steal a base, steal a taco” promotion — right fielder Mookie Betts stole second in the first inning of Game 1 of the World Series Tuesday — but Holt has no interest in reaping the rewards of his teammate’s speed.
“I haven’t eaten Taco Bell in probably 10 years,” he said after Boston’s 8-4 win Tuesday. “I’ll probably stay away from the free taco. I’ll let everybody else get it.”
