The Eephus pitch is generally attributed to Rip Sewell, then with Pittsburgh, who fooled around with it in the 1940s.
We've heard that other guys occasionally lobbed one as far back as the early 1900s, but we remember it best for being clobbered for a home run by Ted Williams in an All-Star game, although the details escape our faltering memories and we're not gonna cheat by looking it up.
