It stands for a strikeout, not a strike. I've heard that it originated in the 19th century, when scoring a game, the scorer kept track of the number of strikes by using the three lines that comprise the letter K. The third strike completed the "K", and was used to symbolize a strikeout in a scoresheet or scorebook. Not sure if this is legend or fact, but it does make sense.

K = strikeout. When scoring a baseball game a K is a strikeout swinging, while a backwards stands for a strikeout looking.
BB = walk, or Bases on Balls.
