Baseball explained

A recent Scottish immigrant to the USA attends his first baseball game in
his new country and after a base hit he hears the fans roaring run....run!
The next batter connects heavily with the ball and the Scotsman stands up
and roars with the crowd in his thick accent: "R-r-run ya bahstard, r-run
will ya!"
A third batter slams a hit and again the Scotsman, obviously pleased with
his knowledge of the game, screams "R-r-run ya bahstard, r-r-run will ya!"
The next batter held his swing at three and two and as the ump calls a walk
the Scotsman stands up yelling "R-r-run ya bahstard, r-r-run!" All the
surrounding fans giggle quietly and he sits down confused. A friendly fan,
sensing his embarrassment, whispers, "He doesn't have to run, he's got four
balls."
After this explanation the Scotsman stands up in disbelief and screams,
"Walk with pr-r-ride man!"
