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. A friendly fan, seeing the
Scotsman'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!"
