A Scotsman who moved to Canada?
and attends his first baseball game.
The first batter approaches the batter´s box, takes a few swings and then hits a double. Everyone is on their feet screaming: ¨RUN¨.
The next batter hits a single. The Scotsman listens as the crowd again cheers ´RUN-RUN¨.
The Scotsman is enjoying the game and begins screaming with the fans.
The 5ft batter comes up and 4 balls go by. The Umpire calls:¨WALK¨.
The batter starts his slow trot to 1st base, the Scot stand up and screams:
¨RUN ye lazy bastard, RRUNN!!¨.
The people around him begin laughing. Embarrassed the Scot sit back down.
A friendly fan notes the man´s embarrassment, leans over and explains, ¨He can´t run..
He´s got 4 balls.¨
The Scot stands up and screams: ¨Walk with pride, Laddie!!.
