An Irishman moves to Canada & finally attends his first baseball game.
The first batter approached the batter's box, took a few swings and then
hit a double. Everyone was on their feet screaming: "RUN, RUN." The next
batter hit a single & the Irishman listened as the crowd again
cheered: "RUN, RUN."
The Irishman enjoyed the game & began screaming with the fans. The fifth
batter came up and four balls went by. The umpire called: "walk" and the
batter started his slow trot to first base. The Irishman stood up and
screamed: "R-R-Run ye bastard, run!" The people around him began
snickering. Embarrassed, the Irishman sat back down. A friendly fan
noticed the man's embarrassment, leaned over and explained: "He can't
run - he's got four balls." The Irishman stood up and cheered: "Walk
with pride, laddie!!"
