Alabama football coach Nick Saban was at Gilman Wednesday night to take in the Greyhounds' basketball victory over Calvert Hall . Saban, of course, is in the process of wooing Gilman football/basketball standout Cyrus Jones to join the Crimson Tide. The All-Metro Offensive Football Player of the Year is also considering Ohio State (who had assistant Luke Fickell at the game), Auburn, Virginia Tech and Maryland. But that wasn't the only star power at Gilman, as Cal Ripken Jr. and his wife Kelly were there to cheer on their son, Ryan, who also plays for the Greyhounds.

Images of nearly 6,000 Baltimoreans are the life's work of a photographer who documented racial segregation and early civil rights protests, and also captured candid moments of now-anonymous brides, classmates, football players and black residents of the city. But while Paul S. Henderson left what Maryland Historical Society curator Jennifer Ferretti calls an "unparalleled visual record of civil rights in Baltimore," he didn't leave behind captions. The names of his subjects aren't known, as Henderson didn't keep written files — or they didn't survive.

This is Netherlands cricketer Ryan Ten Doeschate. He has a jockstrap on his head. I have no idea why, but he does. So let's have some fun with this one. This photo from AFP/Getty's Manan Vatsyayana is perfect for a photo caption challenge, which is good because I have two pairs of tickets to this weekend's 2010 Konica Minolta Face-Off Classic to give away to our winning captioners. I received about 20 submissions for last week's challenge . Let's see if we can top that total this week with some clever and clean captions for this photo of a jock wearing his jock.

The Orioles have been busy during their first spring training camp under manager Buck Showalter. But the Orioles' infield quartet of Mark Reynolds, Derrek Lee, J.J. Hardy, and Brian Roberts found some time on Sunday to stare off into space (well, unless they were all lackadaisically chasing after the same pop-up). This random photo from The Baltimore Sun's Karl Merton Ferron demands another photo caption challenge, and I'm hoping I get more responses this time around than I did two weeks ago . And that's where you guys come in, and I know you will come through with some good ones this time around.

Answering a question by "CBS Morning News" anchor Harry Smith about women in politics, former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher declared, "I regard myself as being able to hold my own."Few familiar with Ms. Thatcher's steely resolve were puzzled by this response. But for the deaf or hard of hearing, the closed-caption, written words on the screen had the so-called Iron Lady saying something completely baffling: "I regard myself as being elder of my home."For those watching CNN's coverage of the siege of the Russian Parliament, knowing President Boris Yeltsin's whereabouts depended on one's ability to hear -- or to guess.

Pro-Israel protesters picketed outside The Sun building on Calvert Street yesterday over an incorrect caption published Sunday beneath a photograph of an Israeli policeman during recent violence in Jerusalem. The group of about 75 -- organized by the host of a local Jewish radio show -- was also angry about recent Sun editorials on unrest in the Middle East, which they assert are erroneous. They waved Israeli flags during the protest and condemned The Sun for "journalistic incompetence."

In Sunday's Business section, a caption misidentified Bill Terrell, president of Preston Trucking Co.The Sun regrets the error.

We have countless awesome sports photos in the archives here at The Baltimore Sun, and I have decided to share one with you each week in a regular feature called "Throwback Thursday. " I found today's picture a while ago when writing a post about the Ravens' all-back uniforms. The smirk on Kyle Boller's face as he and Ray Lewis awkwardly modeled the alternate uniforms in 2004 was so unintentionally humorous, I made this my desktop background for a couple of weeks. Feel free to caption this if you want.

It's photo caption challenge time, Ravens fans. Whoever comes up with the best clean and clever caption for this Presswire photo from Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks wins tickets to the BB&T Classic at Verizon Center. I might also have tickets for the Army-Navy game at FedEx Field, but don't hold me to that.

We haven't done a caption contest in a while, but we have a perfect storm for one this Halloween. The Ravens cheerleaders on Sunday continued their annual tradition of wearing Halloween costumes at M&T Bank Stadium , though I am sad to report that none were dressed up as a hot dog this year ( I'm sure I deserve most of the blame for that ). And we just received tickets to watch Mark Turgeon and his new-look Maryland men's basketball team play Notre Dame at the BB&T Classic at Verizon Center on Sunday, December 4, 2011.

Last week's caption contest got some good responses. Not too bad for having symphony tickets as a prize. Let's keep it going. Come up with a funny, clever and clean caption for this remarkable photo of Ravens head coach John Harbaugh showing tight end Davon Drew how hard he expects him to practice in training camp for a chance to win a pair of tickets to the Maryland State Fair. The deadline is Thursday at noon.

The caption accompanying a photograph in some editions of The Sun yesterday incorrectly identified a Baltimore church. The church pictured was St. Michael's Ukrainian Catholic Church.

The caption for a photo of a dog in yesterday's Maryland section misspelled the name of pet's owner. He is Brian Beaven.

I'm bringing back the more official photo caption contests. Come up with a funny, clever and clean caption for this photo of Orioles manager Buck Showalter from Sunday for a chance to win two tickets to Saturday's Baltimore Symphony Orchestra concert. I have two pairs to give away. The deadline is Thursday at noon.
