A Scotsman moves to Canada and attends his first baseball game. The
first batter approaches the batters' 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 fifth batter comes up and four balls go by. The Umpire calls:
"Walk."
The batter starts his slow trot to first base. The Scot stands up and
screams, "Run ye lazy bastard, rrrun!" The people around him begin
laughing.
Embarrassed, the Scot sits back down.
A friendly fan notes the man's embarrassment, leans over and
explains, “He can't run -- he has four balls."
The Scot stands up and screams: "Walk with pride, Laddie!"
