The Scottsman and baseball
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 next batter also hits a single.
The Scotsman listens as the crowd roars as a run scores, and cheers 'RUN!! RUN!!'
The Scotsman is enjoying the game and begins screaming with the fans.
The fourth 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 b-a-s-t-a-r-d - rrun!'
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! Walk with pride!"

I've heard it before; but, it still brings a chuckle. Thanks for sharing it. And, yes, I'm of Scottish ancestry. [:D] 0 -
