TOKYO -- Rich Hill lives in the moment. On July 22, , Hill—lefty, survivor, and a name now tied to longevity—took the mound for the Kansas City Royals against the Chicago Cubs at 45 years old.

Longtime MLB veteran Hill

Hill was born and raised in Milton, Massachusetts. A veteran of nearly Major League games, with trips to the injured list and stints in independent ball in between, he knows how fortunate he is to be able to put on a jersey and walk out onto the mound with the ball in his hand. Not only is it a rare time to be pulling off career firsts, but much of the roster is filled with young Minor League stars. Some, like Pirates second-base prospect Termarr Johnson, were born after the lanky left-hander was drafted. The approach these days, though, is always the same regardless of the situation: Be in the moment. It's something he's tried to impress upon his younger colleagues. When you put it in that kind of perspective, it brings a lot of things to light and you start to see how important it is to bring that every time because it could be the last time that you do it. It's these lessons that he's tried to instill in his teammates, who have been soaking up the chance to listen to the big league veteran.
