An Irishman moves to America and attends his first baseball game.
The first batter approached the batters' box, took a few swings, and then hits
a double. Everyone jumps to their feet screaming, "Run, runnnnn!!!!"
The next batter hits a single and the Irishman listened as the crowd again
cheered, "Run, runnnnn!!!!"
The Irishman enjoyed the game and 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-r-run ye bastard, run!!!!!"
The people around him began laughing. Embarrassed, the Irishman sat back
down. A friendly fan noted the man's embarrassment, leaned over and
explained; "He can't run. He's got four balls."
The Irishman stood up and screamed, "Walk with pride, lad!"
