As a kid, I loved watching Ryne Duren come in from the Yankee bullpen. He would go through his "Mr Magoo" routine, cleaning his glasses, squinting to find the catcher and home plate, tossing a few warmup pitches, and invariably, letting one go at 95 mph that sailed over the catchers head all the way to the screen.

Then the umpire would wave the batter into the box.
