A visiting Scotsman

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 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 giggle quiedy and he sits down, confused. A friendly fan, sensing his embarrassment, whispers, "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!"
