With massive scoreboards, new ownership, the absence of red bills and designated hitters in the National League, a lot has changed since Rich Hill last pitched

The Royals will be Rich Hill's 14th team in the majors in 21 years after he takes the mound for Kansas City on Tuesday against the Cubs.

July 22 (UPI) -- The Kansas City Royals plan to promote Rich Hill from Triple-A, which will make the 45-year-old pitcher the oldest active player in MLB. Royals manager Matt Quatraro confirmed the move Monday night. Hill will start against the Chicago Cubs -- the team that drafted him in 2002 -- on Tuesday in Chicago.
