Orphans and Baseball

Listen up, buttercup. This joke is about orphans, who, let's be real, aren't exactly known for their stellar family situations. The punchline plays on the double meaning of "run home." In baseball, it means scoring a run. For orphans, it highlights their lack of a home to run to. It's dark humor, because it makes light of the misfortune of orphans, and I know you know a lot about misfortune, don't you?
