The Houston Astros’ Alex Bregman recently hit a home run off the foul pole, delighting fans with the prospect of a free Chick-fil-A sandwich. The Astros, who have been struggling to score runs, managed to secure this tasty promotion during Friday night’s game against the Twins.
Bregman’s impressive fourth-inning homer struck the Chick-fil-A foul pole along the left-field line, triggering an offer for all Houston-area residents to claim a complimentary sandwich through the fast-food chain’s mobile app. To redeem the free sandwich, fans must have the Chick-fil-A app installed, be located in the Houston area, and have their phone’s location services enabled.
This isn’t the first time this season that an Astros player has earned fans a free sandwich, as Jose Altuve also hit the foul pole back in April. While home runs hitting off the foul pole may not be an everyday occurrence, it’s a rare enough event that the Astros didn’t achieve it at home throughout the entire 2022 season. To make amends, the team arranged for Orbit to hit one off the foul pole after the season concluded, ensuring fans had the opportunity to enjoy a complimentary sandwich at least once.
