Photo-A-Day 2013: Week 26

Posted on by

Ah, a week at home. And a Dodger homestand to boot. Not just any Dodger homestand, but the one that turned around what had been a dismal 2013 season. Let’s take a look at the week that was June 24-30.

24-JUN-2013: With the 30-game ticket plan we snagged for this season, this Dodger Stadium view is one of the defining ones for my summer of 2013.

27-JUN-2013: The week the Dodger season changed. And this, perhaps, the key moment: Yasiel Puig's 2-run single before a standing, sellout crowd lifts LA into a lead over the Phils they wouldn't relinquish.

The week of June 17-23 started with a Monday date playing in a charity golf tournament in south Orange County and ended by spending the first full weekend of summer in one of my favorite places: Chicago. Let’s take a look at the week’s images!

17-JUN-2013: Not a bad view for a Monday afternoon, playing a charity golf tournament at Monarch Beach near Dana Point.

20-JUN-2013: View from the window of The Lodge on Division Street. Only in Chicago: a cop smoking a cigar, sitting on the hood of his squad car, hitting on a cougar.

21-JUN-2013: Love this image down the left field line at Wrigley Field. Check out the deep "foul pole" on the building across Waveland Ave., 460 feet from home plate.

23-JUN-2013: One hot Sunday in Chicago. One great boat ride on the Chicago River and Lake Michigan. One hell of a skyline.

The week of June 3-9 saw a good mix of some relaxing evenings at home and some great events around the city, including a fantastic Tom Petty show, playoff hockey and my first glimpse of a Dodger rookie sensation out at the Stadium. Let’s take a look at the images!
