"(Dick) Wakefield started to swing, then he stopped, and then he swung again and almost fell down when he missed. After the game, when everybody stopped laughing (Frankie) Frisch wanted to know what I called the pitch and Maurice Van Robays, an outfielder, said 'that's an eephus ball.' 'What's an eephus?' I asked him. 'Eephus ain't nuthin.' So it was always eephus after that." - Luke Sewell in Boston Globe (July 12, 1981)
