My colleague Al Ditzel tried to rally support for the cause in his column Tuesday, but I'm taking it one step further. Given the lack of responses to sports editor Mark Keller's bet, pitting the Orioles' lack of ability to finish the season at or above .500 against what's left of his hair (and I know a little something about hair loss, folks. I may look young ... OK, I am young ... but my hair didn't get the memo), I turned to Herald-Mail graphic artist Ryan Harpster. With Harpster's help, below is a current shot of Keller's hair-covered cranium on the left (OK, it's slightly doctored ... Ryan had extra time on his hands)

Now that we have unveiled our Herald-Mail All-County athletes for the winter season, we can focus on the sprint that makes up the two-month spring season to conclude the prep athletic year. Before you know it, we’ll be publishing our lists of top players in baseball, softball, track and field, tennis and lacrosse. Whoosh! There’s barely time to take a collective breath of relief …. and oh my goodness, football is around the corner. But let’s not go there yet. From my standpoint, this past winter season covering boys basketball was pretty doggone interesting.

Before you give this subject the brush off, let's get to the root of the analogy. Lately, sports news has been like gossip at one big beauty salon. Most of the talk revolves around streaks and how they highlight and add color to a season.

You know, I've been doing this media thing for a little time now. Those of you that know me know my dome is bathed in gray as I continue my trek into the 60s, and I don't mean the year. At times I've done television, at times I've done radio, but for the most part it's been behind the desk working in the print business. As you know, or may not, at the end of a prep sports season a newspaper generally selects all-star teams for specific sports. It takes time putting the teams together, believe me.

But those who practiced such quirky superstitions on behalf of the Ravens can take pleasure in the idea they might have played a role in the win. Following is a sampling of what some area residents did to try to give Baltimore an edge: Mismatched socks and more Justin Anthony of Williamsport wears mismatched socks and the same boxer shorts and black University of Maryland basketball shorts for every Baltimore Ravens game.
