Ohio Crush wants to congratulate the Racers for clinching the title. Your influence on our team and all of the girls who play fastpitch softball in NE Ohio is great, and an aspiration for all of them. Keep up the good work!

Will Mayor Don authorize a ticker-tape parade down Main Street from Canal Park to Firestone Stadium????? Will there be 5,000 screaming fans at Firestone Stadium to welcome the bus home??? This is Akron's FIRST major sports championship since Fritz Pollard led the Akron Pros to the NFL title ?(actually, American Professional Football League at the time) in the first year of the league's existence
GO RACERS!!!

Congratulations to the Racers! Great game!!! It was wonderful to be able to watch it on TV.

It's just too bad that some of the major Cleveland news channels didn't even mention anything about it :'(

A real shame news stations won't cover WINNING teams! But I bet we'll see/hear plenty about the Browns this season! ;D

Maybe instead of waiting to hear it from the News Channels we should let them hear from us. If enough people responsed
to them with this GREAT NEWS they will not have a choice but to report it.
Start calling those TV stations and informing them of what a big story that they missed out on.

Kathy, thanks for the heads-up -- keep us posted -- this is worth missing a day of school for the kids!!!
I know my kid will vote Racers over school any day!!
Thank the great athletes again for a great thrill for Ohio softball
Imagine this -- the NCAA championship team is from the Midwest (Michigan) and the championship team from the highest level of play currently in the world is also from the Midwest (Racers)

Congrats to the Racers. It was nice to sit and watch the game with my daughter and see them play hard and come back and win it. :)

Hey ESPN,
Did I fall asleep, or did ESPN not only cut into the Racers game with the finish of the Little League final, but ALSO eliminate the entire sixth inning of the game!!! I watched my tape AGAIN and I still can't find a sixth inning!!
Just goes to show you the respect softball has in the USA
Does anyone know if ESPN2 is showing the game in its ENTIRETY at time in the near future?

Just received this release from The Brew Crew, sterling PR director for the Akron Racers, and thought I'd pass it along:
AKRON -- The 2005 National Pro Fastpitch (NPF) champion Akron Racers are staging a "Championship Celebration & Barbeque" on Saturday, Sept. 10, beginning at 6 p.m. at Firestone Stadium.

The Akron Racers Foundation and Caterers by Paparazzi???s are hosting the party, which will include the raising of a championship banner over the entrance to the Stadium.

To reserve a ticket for the "Championship Celebration & Barbeque," call the Racers at 330-376-8188.

The Racers captured their first NPF championship in thrilling fashion Aug. 28 when they rallied past the Chicago Bandits, 5-4 in eight innings, in Lisle, Ill. Akron finished the season 38-10.

received an e-mail concerning the tickets
I spoke with Racers PR director Jeff Brewer and he did not know if there is a charge or not.
Best bet is to call the Racers office Tuesday when normal business hours resume
