Scots Baseball

A Scot on a visit to the States was taken to a baseball game. It was the
first time he had ever seen the sport so he sat quietly as the first batter
approached the mound, 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 Scot was now excited and ready to
get into the game. The next batter came up and four balls went by. The
umpire called a "walk" and the batter started on a slow trot to first.

The Scot, seeing the man's slow advance towards first base, stood up and
screamed, "R-R-Run ye basstarrd, r-r-run!" Everyone around him started
laughing. The extremely embarrassed and puzzled Scot sat down.

His friend leaned over and explained, "He can't run - he's got four balls."

The Scot stood up and screamed, "Walk with pride, man...walk with pride!"
