Angels celebration inappropriate?

The Angels clinched the American League West Division Championship on Monday night and proceeded to celebrate as tradition dictates, by pouring champagne and beer over themselves, each other and presumably, into their bellies.  Thats all well and good, however they created a mild firestorm by including Nick Adenhart in the party.  Adenhart, a promising young pitcher with the Angels was killed in April after a game by an alleged drunk driver (who we kidding with this alleged business?  The dude was hammered.)  To their credit, the Angels players persevered and played championship baseball from about May on and all the while, bringing Adenhart's jersey to every game, whether home or away.  It was hung with care in the dugout and players would pay respects prior to games by gently placing a hand on the jersey.  All of this was looked upon with admiration, sadness and respect for the organization and their players.  But on Monday night during the celebration, the inclusion of Adenhart took an awkward turn, as the team heavily doused the jersey with champagne and beer.  Now fans around the country are voicing their opinion that this was an inappropriate and insensitive act, considering the nature of his death.  

Personally, I feel bad for the players.  They certainly loved and missed their fallen teammate.  I'm 100% certain they meant no disrepect to Adenhart or his family or the legions of families who have been directly affected by drunk driving.  However, my reaction is with the masses in that it took my brain about 2 milliseconds to register a feeling of uneasiness when I first watched the Angels pouring booze on his jersey and that feeling remains with the second, third and fourth viewing of said celebration.  The man died as a result of excessive alcohol and the players poured buckets of the stuff all over his "tribute" jersey.  Any reasonable person can see the sad irony in this picture.  Again, I would not accuse any of the players of intent and I believe them when they say they were treating him like a teammate.  But let me leave you with this:  The Angels are a well run organization, with involved ownership, a squadron of front office people and multiple experienced coaches.  The Angels have been in 1st place for a long time and had a sizeable lead over the Rangers and were certain to win the Division to advance to the playoffs.  Are you telling me no one saw this coming?  A gentle suggestion to some of the more sage veterans of the team like Tori Hunter to respect the nature of Nick's death would have gone a long way to making this a non issue.  

Then we could instead discuss the appropriateness of the team going through 210 bottles of champagne and 22 cases of beer during Monday's celebration.
