An Irishman, new to the U.S.A. finally attended his first baseball game. The first batter approached the batters' box, took a few swings and then hit a double. Everyone was on their feet screaming. "Run, Run" ..
The next batter gets up and hits a single, and the Irishman listened as the crowd again yelled, "Run, Run!"
He was beginning to enjoy the game and decided to join in the yelling.
The fifth batter came up and four balls went by. The umpire called a walk and the batter started his slow trot to first base. The Irishman stood up and screamed, "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, me lad!"
