I had Taco Bell for the first time in my life last winter, and it left me with full-blown food poisoning. I didn’t just have the type of upset stomach that people associate with low-quality Mexican-American fast food. I had total projectile-vomit food poisoning. So I can get behind what Red Sox utilityman Brock Holt had to say after teammate Mookie Betts stole a base to trigger Taco Bell’s “steal a base, steal a taco” promotion.
Holt’s comments did not sit well with USA Today’s Ted Berg, who asked Holt if Taco Bell or any Taco Bell-affiliated persons had taken issue with the criticism.
