A recent Scottish immigrant attended his first baseball game in his new country and after a base hit heard the fans roaring “Run....Run!” The next batter connected heavily with the ball and the Scotsman stood up and roared with the crowd in his thick accent:
“R-r-run ya bahstard, r-run will ya!”
A third batter slammed a hit and again the Scotsman, obviously pleased with his knowledge of the game, screamed:
“R-r-run ya bahstard, r-r-run will ya!”
The next batter held his swing at three and two and as the ump called a walk the Scotsman stood up yelling:
“R-r-run ya bahstard, r-r-run!”
All the surrounding fans giggled quietly and he sat down confused. A friendly fan, sensing his embarrassment, whispered:
“He doesn't have to run, he's got four balls.”
After this explanation the Scotsman stood up in disbelief and screamed:
“Walk with pr-r-ride man!”
