Walk with pr-r-ride man
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 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 embarassment whisper, “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!”
