Subject: Re: KKK



Baseball fans,

The LA Dodgers new Japanese pitcher Hideo Nomo is on tv all the

time here, and when he gets a strikeout, fans line up big "K" letters. I

certainly don't remember this practice from when I was a kid and went to

Cardinals or Braves games. Does anyone know what the "K"s mean (is it for

"kill"?) and when and how this got started?



Thanks,

Danny Long

Maybe it relates to K.O., from boxing (knock out).
