...what better way to celebrate than with a good joke:

An Irishman moves to the USA. 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. 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". The batter started his slow trot to first base. The Irishman
stood up and screamed, "Rrrrun ye lazy bastard, rrrun!" 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."
