What hotel to the Phillies stay at while playing the NY Yankees in NY.
The Phillies won the 2008 World Series because of their superior pitching staff. The Phillies had Brad Lidge who was absolutely incredible that season. They also had JC Romero, Chad Durbin, and Ryan Madsen was returning to his form. Not only did they have bullpen they had the starters. Cole Hamels were incredible in that series. Brett Myers was the only pitcher that got a lose in the series. And Moyer pitched incredible! Although now he just needs to retire. But the Phillies also had Chase Utley, Ryan Howard, Jimmy Rollins, and Pat Burrell. So they were the, I think, favorites.
The record is 13 against the Cincinnati Reds. I'm not sure exactly what year but it was sometime between 2002-2005. Recent. I believe it was the 4th inning but I wouldn't swear to it. Also, it was the only inning in which the Phillies scored in the game.

Each baseball team makes its own arrangements. Teams usually stay downtown near Petco. If you visit the downtown hotels in person, you might be able to discover where they are staying. I'd check out the Omni and the Marriott as possibilities.
The 2009 Media Guide says the Westin Buckhead. No updates since then. Perhaps there's been trouble in the past?

veterans stadium, or more commonly known as the vet.
First and third base gates open an hour and a half before game time. The left field gate (Ashburn Alley) opens an additional hour early. So you can get in 2 and a half hours early. Often times, the vendors will have food specials at this time.
No. Mark McGwire never played for the Phillies, McGwire played 12 years with the Oakland A's, and 5 years with the Cardinals.
