So a Scotsman came to America to visit friends and asked to do some American stuff for fun. They all went to the ballpark for a game. Now the Scotsman knew nothing about baseball but he watched the game and watched his friends for pointers. In the first inning when their team was up to bat, one player got a base hit and the hosts yelled, “ run run run”. When he pulled up at first and stayed the Scotsman yelled ,”run”. His hosts explained that the runner had to wait to advance on the next hit.
Still not really sure how the game works the Scotsman was enjoying a beautiful day and the hotdogs and beer were a big hit too.
A few innings and several beers later, the home teams slugger got up with one man on base. The pitcher walked him and he tossed his bat and took first. The Scotsman jumped up and yelled ,”run run run you sonofabiscuit eater “
His friends explained that the player got to walk because he got four balls.
The Scotsman shouts out in amazement,” Four Balls he has!!! Walk with Pride Laddie “
