The Scotsman's First Baseball Game
Friday, 23. October 2009, 19:31:27
A recent Scottish immigrant to the US 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 quick 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 the Ump calls a walk.
The Scotsman stands up yelling: "Why don'cha R-r-run ya Bahstard? r-r-run!" All the surrounding fans chuckle quietly and he sits down confused.
A friendly fan, sensing his embarrassment whispers, "He doesn't have to run, he got four balls."
"Oh!" Said the Scotsman who then yelled, "Walk with pr-r-ride then laddie!"
