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 bastard, 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 bastard, 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 Bastard, r-r-run!” All the
surrounding fans chuckle quietly and he sits down confused. A friendly fan,
sensing his embarrassment whispers, “He doesn’t have to run, he got four balls.”
“Walk with pr-r-ride man!”
