I’ve always wondered about the backwards K in baseball

Great question, Henny - my extremely limited research turned up nothing conclusive.

I used to like to mess with my kids friends by going, “PSST, key kid, wanna buy a letter K?” like the character Lefty from the Muppets. His most “famous” question is “Would you like to buy an O?” because it was made into a song, but for me it’s always a K.

I think “K’s” are more valuable than “O’s” - but, that’s just me.

All I could think of while reading this post was how prepared I will be for the next Connections game where the answer is "things associated with the letter K" 😉

Pet peeve is when k" is used to represent "qu" as in Kwik Trip gas stations although they are pretty decent for a fast food restaurant,.
