Hum baby 

Baseball chatter in which the infielders encourage the pitcher to fire off a fast ball, so fast that it hums. It was in widespread use in 1960s Little League (I know from experience) and probably predates that, so the Roger Craig origin in the mid 80's that several people have reported is simply incorrect.
"Hey, batter, batter! Hum babe. Hum baby, hum!"
