A Scottish tourist attended his first baseball game in the US
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 bahstard, r-run will ya!”A third batter hits a
slam and again the Scotsman, obviously pleased with his knowledge
of the game, screams “R-r-run ya bahstard, r-r-run will ya!”
The next batter steadfastly holds his swing four times and as
the ump calls a walk the Scotsman stands up and yells “R-r-run
ya bahstard, r-r-run!” All the surrounding fans giggle quietly
and he sits down confused. A friendly fan, sensing his
embarrassment, whispers to the Scotsman, “He doesn’t have to run,
he’s got four balls.” After this explanation the Scotsman stands
up in disbelief and screams, “Walk with pr-r-ride man! Walk with
pr-r-ride!!!!”
