Crowell: "I bet on baseball."

Shock waves rippled through Run Camp Monday when long-time camp organizer Chris Crowell admitted he bet on baseball.

"Say it ain't so, Chris," lamented veteran camper David Pinto upon hearing the news.

Camp's Central Committee delayed a ruling on Crowell's fate because the admission also has implications for the Borgess Run itself, and administrators at the Borgess Health & Fitness Center were said to be "reeling." Race organizers are in a bind because while it would be obvious to strip Crowell of his duties singing the national anthem at the race, finding a replacement for finish-line announcing might prove impossible. "We're not sure anyone else would do it," said a stunned Bryon Bierema.

In his confession, Crowell said "It's hard to explain. I don't like baseball. I don't care who wins and I don't normally gamble. But it just had that mystery, that mystique about it."

Crowell said he lost $5 on a regular season game between the Seattle Mariners and the Milwaukee Brewers in 1985.
