i believe the phillies player lot is on the darien st. side of the stadium, however i think it's kind of fenced off so it dosen't seem to graphing friendly (not like the vet used to be). i imagine it would be easier to get them after the game if they do sign there. as for road teams, i'm assuming they just take a team bus from their hotel and go right in the stadium. you're probably better off going to their hotel if you want to graph them.
lots of guesses and assumptions on my part, so don't quote me on anything ;)

but after the game wouldnt it still be gated off?

pretty much which is why you rarely see anyone graphing there. you basically would have to yell through the fence across the player lot, get their attention, and get them to come all the way to you. i don't really see that happening.
phillies are a tough team to graph these days. best bets are on the field before the game, the phestival, and keep you eyes peeled for free/cheap public signings.

yeah, honestly it doesnt matter where you see/get/try the phillies, they are terrible. Guys do sign (I mean there isn't a human being alive that doesn't sign in the right context), but it's like lottery-winning odds to do it.

Kind of a waste of time. Best way to graph baseball in philly is to do batting practice inside the stadium for the road teams. Guys rack over the dugout or down the line. Best way is to get there as soon as the gates open (535 for night games) and run like hell to get the best spot over the dugout steps.

I know you're trying to figure out "secrets" but really none of them exist... guys are tough no matter where you see them if they are tough.

Just to take it a step further, baseball is the sport where the most players refuse to sign anywhere but inside the stadium. Like NBA if you see guys out they will usually do it, but MLB they always say inside the stadium.

Wait for night games gates only open an hour and half early, afternoon games they open 2 hrs and 30 mins early
