A brief look at sport in America through the eyes of a foreigner:
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 got four balls."
After this explanation the Scotsman stands up in disbelief and screams, "Walk with pr-r-ride young man!"
