Today marks the 14th anniversary of the Bucs' Super Bowl victory parade. Times staffers who were part of our coverage that day in 2003 recall the historic event from their perspectives:

From a photo perspective, I remember our spectacular visual coverage. The photo on this link was shot by one of our looooong time photographers, Fraser Hale. He was an old-school photographer who would always keep his gear as pristine as the day he got it brand new. When I was the Tampa photo editor, Fraser's better days as a photographer were behind him, though he was a big-time player during our glory days of the 70s and 80s, and he was a treasure trove of community and institutional knowledge for me.
