K is a strikeout. Not just a strike. On a baseball scorecard each at-bat is recorded and if the batter strikes out a "K" is marked for that at-bat.
If he's thrown out at first base his out is marked by the the infielder who caught the ball and threw it to first. Each position on the field is assigned a number so a grounder to the short stop (position 6) who throws it to first base (position 3) for the out would marked 6-3 on the card. A fly ball to left field (position 7) would be F7. Etc. Which brings us to the eternal question, "Who's on first?" :-) BTW, speaking of striking, Bob is correct, your photo most assuredly is!
