For all my friends of Scottish decent

Wee Angus......

Wee Angus goes to visit his relatives in the Americas; and he's a HUGE football fan..... Glascow Ranger through and through!(for you Yanks, that means soccer).
So...knowin' that Angus is such a big sport-fan, they take him to a baseball game....and there's wee Angus , sittin' in the stands surrounded by kin and kilth.......the home team gets a hit, and the entire clan leaps to it's feet yelling RUN! RUN! (Angus is watchin' all this....) The next batter gets a walk, and Angus leaps to his feet, and yells "RRRRUN laddie! RRRun! And his family pulls him down, and says, Nae Angus, ye dinna do tha! "Why not", Angus asks indignate.....you'se did!
Aye, they say, but our man had a hit, and yours only had a walk. "Why's my man gotta walk"? Asks Angus. Well, ye see Angus, one replys, your man got four balls, no a hit like ours.
Angus springs to his feet again and yells, "Walk PROUDLY LADDIE! WALK PROUDLY!!

"Guess it's that "local venacular" thing again, huh folks? ;0)

The Scots are close cousins to us Irish folk, and although they tried to steal the bagpipes, AND the invention of whiskey from us, we still have a large warm spot in our hearts for them. ;0)

I repeated your joke to my Scottish wife. She loved it.

When we first came to America she would try and watch baseball games with me although she didn't really find it interesting. She was naturally appalled at the behaviour of the players as they spat on the ground and scratched themselves. When the game paused during the 7th inning she inquired, "Oh, is this the seventh inning scratch?"
