What does a backwards K mean?

[Guest cooby]

I always noticed that when fans hung those K signs up in the stands that sometimes they were backwards and I thought they were just being careless, but on the Yankees station just now they showed Delgado's batting for the night (3 K's up til then) and they showed one of them backwards.

Does it mean something?

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Struck out looking vs. swinging

[Frayed Knot]

It's Russian for Strike-out

[Guest cooby]

Thanks, I thought that was probably what it meant.

Isn't it funny that I never saw that before in an "official" setting.

[Guest cleonjones11]

backwards is out looking

[Guest cooby]

That Yankees station is so progressive

[Guest Iubitul]

SLOW DOWN!

oh... nevermind...

[Guest Rotblatt]

I think the real question is, does any of Clemens' brood have a name starting with a backwards K? Perhaps an illegitimate child?

[Guest Edgy DC]

No. The illegitimate ones should be spelled with a forward K, because those are the ones conceived while swinging.
