A recent New Zealand immigrant attends his first baseball game in the USA, and after a base hit he hears the fans roaring "Run....run!"
The next batter hits the ball, and the New Zealander 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 New Zealander, obviously pleased with his knowledge of the game, screams: "R-r-run ya bahstard, r-r-run will ya!"
The next batter draws a walk, and the New Zealander stands up yelling, "R-r-run ya bahstard, r-r-run!" All the surrounding fans laugh, and he sits down confused. A friendly fan tells him, "He doesn't have to run, because he got four balls."
"Walk with pr-r-ride man!"
