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 batter1 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 slams a hit 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 holds his swing at three and two and as the ump calls a walk. The Scotsman stands up yelling: R-r-run ya Bahstard, r-r-run!
All the surrounding fans chuckle2 quietly and he sits down confused. A friendly fan, sensing his embarrassment3 whispers, He doesn't have to run, he got four balls.
The Scotsman yells even louder, Walk with pr-r-ride man! Walk with pr-r-ride!
