MLB Network's Joel Sherman reports the New York Yankees will also be in attendance.

The 37-year-old hopes to recapture that magic he had in Philly.

Hamels was an integral part of the Phillies' 2008 World Series Championship. He also was the World Series MVP.

He went 3 innings, giving up three runs on three hits with two strikeouts and one walk in a loss to the Baltimore Orioles.

The four-time All-Star has also pitched for the Texas Rangers.

He has a career record of 163-122.
