Anaheim Angels team photographer V.J. Lovero, who has been with the ballclub for 20 years, is doused with champagne by Tim Salmon in the Angels clubhouse after they defeated the Giants 4-1 in Game 7 of the Series.
The Anaheim Angels are the new champions of the baseball world after they defeated the San Francisco Giants 4-1 in Game 7 of the 2002 World Series at Edison Field in Anaheim on Sunday night.

One of the highlites of the evening was getting a chance to see longtime club photographer (20 years) V.J. Lovero get doused with champagne by Tim Salmon in the victorious clubhouse. The Angels and V.J. have both been through alot in recent years and seeing them celebrate together gave many sports shooters a very good feeling.

Luckily this wonderful moment was captured on a compact flash card by Orange County Register staff photographer (and SportsShooter.com member) Kevin Sullivan.
