Theo Epstein, Cubs president, says he looks at the scoreboard to keep track of the count (balls and strikes) Rick Fuhs is in charge of that. Epstein says, "No one will be as fast as the center-field lightning' ball-strike guy. He's the best employee in all baseball. Who is better at his job than he is at that?"
Rick Fuhs operates out of the press box and does the balls-strikes-outs on the board. He goes by the name "Quick Rick." He's so fast because he knows every umpire's body language. "I have all their idiosyncrasies down pat," he says.
