Scottish Immigrant
A recent Scottish immigrant attends his first baseball game in his new country and after a base hit he hears the fans yelling “run… run!”
The next batter connects heavily with the ball. 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 held 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 quietly and he sits down confused.
A friendly fan, sensing his embarrassment, whispers, “He doesn’t have to run, he’s got four balls.”
The Scotsman stands up in disbelief and screams,
“Walk with pr-r-ride son!”
