In the event, Giambi exploded for three home runs and drove in all seven Colorado runs in the Rockies’ 7-1 blowout of the Phillies. He’s now got 419 round-trippers, but this was his first three-homer game.

Look: It’s awesome that Jason Giambi, a really nice guy and a massively entertaining masher of baseballs, became the second oldest man in baseball history to hit three home runs in a game last night. And it’s even more awesome that he did it against the Phillies.

But the most important thing here — and the thing that will be overlooked in the history books, I fear — is that whenever the Rockies score seven or more runs, Denver-area Taco Bells serve discounted tacos between 4 and 6 p.m. the next day. And the Rockies didn’t really need Giambi’s last two home runs and four RBIs, what with Jhoulys Chacin cruising like he was. Giambi did that for the people. So the people could eat cheap tacos.

And if Jason Giambi heroically securing discounted tacos with a home run sounds vaguely familiar, it’s because it has happened before.
