A question for those that have seen Summer Cath or Disneys The Rookie.

[MainFramed]

In summer Cath when freddie princ jr., forgot the name he played... but when he was striking people out his friends where putting K's up on the wall. and now i just watched the Rookie last night and when Jim Morris (dennis quaid) was striking people out , his son starting putting K's up on little sticky notes. Whats With The K's?!

- people in pro baseball stadiums do that as well. K is short for strike out, so when someone gets a strikeout, sometimes fans put up a K.

What he said.

They don't just do that in movies. It happens at baseball games all the time.

K: The symbol "K" in baseball scorecards represents, "Strikeout." Why? Well, baseball pioneer Henry Chadwick, the NY Herald's first baseball editor, first used the symbol in 1868. As far as he was concerned, the letter "K" was the "prominent letter of the word strike," adding that "the letter K in struck is easier to remember, than S."
