Sewell's most memorable moment came in the 1946 All-Star Game when he threw his famous "eephus" pitch to Ted Williams, who was expecting a fastball. The pitch reached a maximum height of 25 feet before dropping in for a strike. Williams later joked that it was the "screwiest" thing he had ever seen on a baseball diamond. Sewell's unique pitching style and the success that he had using it made him a fan favorite and a legend in Pittsburgh.

Rip Sewell was inducted into the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame in 1969, and his number 21 was retired by the Pittsburgh Pirates. He passed away on September 3, 1989, in Prescott, Arizona. Sewell had a remarkable baseball career, and his contributions to the game, especially with his iconic "eephus" pitch, are still remembered and celebrated today.
