Sighting Question

RE: Sighting Question
I did business for a long time with a Scott. We had never meet, working things out by Phone or Fax (pre-internet days). Anyway, My tax dude found a loophole that let me bring him over for business and put him up in a little style.
At first he didn't want to come, until I explained the Uncle Sam was going to pick up the tab, which we both thought made it worth doing even if there was no other reason.
So I had him picked up at the airport and meet him at the hotel. We got along pretty well, so I invited him to a ball game the next day. He had never seen a baseball game and knew nothing about it, although he was a rabid cricket fan.
So we got to the game and took our seats (company box) behind the dougout along the first base line, got a really terrible beer (tradition, you know. Nothing potable is sold at a baseball game. I suspect their is some sort of rule about that) and I started 'splainin (explaining, in English) the game. I had just got past hitting the ball and running the bases when the first batter hit a sharp grounder thru the left side hole. He took off running and my Scottish bud jumped up and screamed "Run like Hell, mon, run like bloody 'ell". Everybody looked, but that was OK since he was obviously having a good time. It was either that or he LIKED National Bohemian, which is unlikely enough to classify as impossible.
Batter was safe at first so I explained how he now became a runner. Next batter drew a walk and started to trot down to first. My Scottish guest jumped up and screamed "Run like Hell, mon, run like bloody 'ell". Everybody in the stadium looked, so I quickly 'splained that he got to walk because he had 4 balls. So he screamed even louder "Walk with PRIDE Man, walk with pride.
It went downhill from there.
