It isn't meant to be racist, so it shouldn't be taken that way.Why do METS AND RED SOCK FANS hate on the YANKEES payroll, when they are 2nd and 3rd?
HAHAHAHAHAHAWho will win the 2007 World Series?
Errr, no. Either that or hope they stop at 2 or get a fourth.I'm can't tell if you already know, but the symbol used to record a strikeout in the scorebook is "K".

Not unless the fans are also holding up a noose. Then its ok.How many wooden baseball bats does a MLB team bring with them when they travel to another city?

Should i long toss or lift to gain some mph on my fastball?
Only if you're trying to make something out of nothing! That has to be one of the most ridiculous things I ever...Who do you like more... Joe Nathan Or Joe Mauer?
your dumbK means strikeout. What if the 6th batter in the lineup strikes out 3 times in a game and he's the only one that has strike outs? Then, it would probably look like 666.
This isn't racist at all. You have to understand the context of which this subject is being referenced to. This is baseball, ask any pitcher if they ever think of this and a unanimous response will be "no". They will look up there and be proud of the three strikeouts. We need to put to rest so much scrutiny of racism. There are to many people out there that are over sensitive. Sometimes this is called for due to the lack of respect one person portrays to another. We just need to treat everyone how we would want to be treated and understand that not one person is better then anyone else.
Are the yankees the most winning franchise i think not?
No, merely, somewhat unfortunately, coincidental.Strikeouts have been around longer than the Klan has.

Do u think that a-rod will b able 2 hit a homerun of dice-k?
I asked my dad about that when I was young.I think they wait to put up K number 3... until the guy's strikes out another hitter... so they can put 2 up at once...
So its KKKK, which isnt so bad.
Who replaced babe ruth on new york yankees?
Of course it is not racist! That is irrational thinking. It is unfortunate that the letter 'K' is initials for a racist group of bonzos running around in white robes and pointy hoods. The 'K' is perfect to represent a STRIKE OUT in a baseball game. That is what it is intended for, not to promote racism. Your middle finger was not intended to throw people crazy, should you cut that off simply because society has made it a profane slur?Which team will win the AL West?

Your probably the only person who ever really thought of that.Who was the last player to hit a home run in his 1st at bat?
if we are going to take this as being racist I guess the next thing we are going to see is the fan putting the signs up being sued for being racist. Then the court system that we have to live with will allow that person one million dollars because the fan offended them. Even though the fan was just out having a good time at a game and some dumb *** took it out of context.Who was the only player to win MVP in both leagues?
It's BASEBALL. It's only racist if you want to take it out of context, Then again you can make anything you wnat out of anything if you take it out of context.It's BASEBALL.
Would Anyone Agree That The Twins Will Win The World Series?
No, its not racist. Calling someone a name, or judging them by their color or nationality is racist. Putting up strikeout signs is harmless, and does not intend to be interpreted as Ku Klux Klan, just 3 strikeouts. You are obviously an idiot, man. Just turn off your computer and shut up, please.people should know it isnt racist, its a game where strikeouts are called "k's", so people who think its racist should consider never watching baseball again.
I'm sure you're kidding, but the first time I ever saw this was with Gooden (I'm pretty sure the practice started with him), I didn't know what was going on up there, and yes, he had three K's at the time I saw it for the first time. I couldn't imagine why NY fans were doing that to an African American pitcher until the broadcasters explained the K-Corner.

I can't believe that you even brought this up.lighten up.
Umm no not at all. Its not intended to be racist...and if you know anything about baseball the letter "K" represents a strikeout. The fans put up one K when the pitcher strikes one person out, then when they strike another person out they put another K up and the same with when they strike out the last batter. GO YANKEES!
