A recent Scottish immigrant attends his first baseball
game in his new
country and after a base hit he hears the fans roaring
run....run!
The
next batter connects heavily with the ball and the
Scotsman stands up
and roars with the crowd in his thick accent: "R-r-run ya
bahstard,
r-run will ya!"
A third batter slams a hit and again the Scotsman,
obviously pleased with his knowledge of the game,
screams "R-r-run
ya bahstard, r-r-run will ya!"
The next batter held his swing at
three and two and as the ump calls a walk the Scotsman
stands up
yelling "R-r-run ya bahstard, r-r-run!"
All the surrounding fans
giggle quietly and he sits down confused.
A friendly fan, sensing his
embarassment whisper, "He doesn't have to run, he's got
four balls."
After this explanation the Scotsman stands up in disbelief
and
screams, "Walk with pr-r-ride man!"
