A Scottish man 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 plate,
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 Scottish man 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.
The fan sitting next to the Scotsman
noticed his embarrassment,
so he leaned over and explained,
"He can't run because he got four balls."
The Scotsman immediately stood up and screamed,
"Walk with pride, man! Walk with pride!"
