Irish Baseball
An Irishman moves to the USA and finally attends his first
baseball game.
The first batter approached the batters' box, took a few swings
and then hits
a double. Everyone was on their feet screaming, "Run, run".
The next batter hits a single and the Irishman listened as
the crowd again
cheered, "Run, run". 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!"
