an interesting stat

[while watching a rerun of the sox-yankees game 6 with j]

j: hey, what does 2 h-r 3 k mean?
m: huh?
j: on the scoreboard thingy for the pitcher just then. it said '2 h-r 3 k.'
m: that means 2 home runs, 3 strike outs.
j: oh, i thought it meant that he made $3,000 every 2 hours.
