Subject: 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
