Taco lovers everywhere will fill their bellies on Nov. 1 thanks to Cameron Maybin, and now the Houston Astros outfielder wants to make the dish a bigger part of his life.

The 30-year-old asked his Twitter followers if he should go by Taco Hero if Major League Baseball allows players to wear nicknames on their jerseys again for Players Weekend.

Maybin stole a base during the 11th inning of Game 2 of the World Series on Wednesday, and thanks to a promotion from Taco Bell, earned free tacos for everyone.

The official giveaway is only open to Americans, who will receive one free Doritos Locos Taco per person on Nov. 1 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. local time.
