A Scotsman was at a baseball game. It was the first time he had ever seen the
sport so he sat quietly. The first batter approached the mound, he took a few
swings and then hit a double.
Everyone was on their feet screaming "Run, Run."
This happened two more times, with a single and a triple.
The Scotsman was now excited and ready to get into the game. The next batter
came up and four balls went by. The umpire called "walk" and the batter started
on a slow trot to first.
The Scotsman, extremely excited now, stood up and screamed, "R-R-Run ye
basstarrd, rrrun!"
Everyone around him started laughing. So the Scotsman, extremely embarrassed,
sat back down. A friendly fan, seeing the Scot's embarrassment, leaned over and
said, "He can't run - he got four balls."
The Scotsman then stood up and screamed, "Walk with pride, man... walk with
pride!"
