V.J. LOVERO PHOTO WELL
V.J. Lovero, considered by many as one of the top sports photographers in the country, passed away much
too soon on January 12, 2004 after a four-year battle with cancer. Despite his circumstances, he remained
optimistic about life, and continued to focus on his photography, family and friends. For years, we were
privileged to view the beauty of baseball through the eyes of his lens. His photographs captured the essence,
emotion, artistry and even humor of our great game.

His career included covering the two Anaheim sports franchises in addition to serving Sports Illustrated as one
of its premier photographers. After joining SI in 1985, his work graced the cover of the magazine an amazing
39 times. V.J. also covered numerous World Series, Stanley Cup Finals, Super Bowls, championship fights and
Olympic Games.

V.J. left something behind for all who knew him. His life reminds us there are countless moments in our lives to
be treasured. We are fortunate that many of his professional “moments” were preserved with a photograph.
