At the end of every season, we Sons go through and tally up our attendance record for the prior year. The 2013 season was particularly remarkable because we made it to Spring Training in Arizona, road games in San Diego and Baltimore, and both the NLDS (vs. Atlanta) and NLCS (vs. St. Louis) playoff series. 24 wins (which does not include our spring training wins) also matches our all-time high in wins attended (along with 2012), though our overall 40 games attended in 2013 represents fewer games than in 2012.
Another great part of 2013 was the fact that we had six Sons attend one game together (June 12): dangerous for the blog if a catastrophic event had hit the Stadium that night (short of the loss we witnessed, of course), but very positively correlated with an increase in beer sales at Dodger Stadium. Curious!
Our 2013 record of 24-16 (including playoffs) puts the Sons at 106-74 across the last six seasons. That's a winning percentage of .589. Clearly, the Dodgers should be inviting us to more road games!

Time to get all set for 2014. Can the Sons break our record of 42 games attended?

I'm thinking that you should just send Sax and Delino to the games. Let everyone else couch it.
I have heard of parents who don't fly together...just in case. Maybe we should have a "No Sons all in the Same Place at Once" policy.
@Stubbs...Distraction understood. We all love her too.
I have a feeling I'm going to be couching it a lot this year...
17 was a bout below my average. This season I'll blow that mark out of the water.
We should have a "minimum plate appearances" type rule. DD's winning percentage is skewed by the fact that he only made it to the Yard 4 times!
