You probably don't like the K in baseball scoring either then.

Nah, that one, from what I understand, actually makes a bit of sense.

Chadwick needed S for sacrifice, so he chose K for strikeout - K being the last letter of "struck," which was then in more common use than the term "strikeout."

So we should start making acronyms with the last letter?
And how come I doubt this conversation ever happened:

Q: What did you do last at-bat?
A: I struck.

Methinks you're taking what I said a bit far. All I said was that it makes a bit more sense.

And, you can doubt all you want. Them there are the facts.

K has been used for a strikeout since the 1850s. There are dozens of theories as to why, but none are concrete.
Kind've like DO I would say...

"Schwarz's The Numbers Game. The common view that the K was used because the S was taken (by Sacrifice, Stolen Base, or Single) appears to be erroneous."

They should pay DDF for all the DO's.
