Taco Bell has set up an inflatable target outside Pacific Bell Park. If anyone hits a home run that lands on the target, all of America wins a free taco on November 4. Taco Bell also set up a target with a similar challenge for the _Mir_ space station to hit.

How many sports stadium have a “hit somethin’, win somethin’” ad? Perhaps the most famous would be the Abe Stark “Hit Sign Win Suit” in Ebbets Field. Has Taco Bell done something like this before Mir? I think they did.
