In football we call it a "Hail Mary," that desperate, deep throw with nothing left to lose. But those prayers will never ask for too much — a football field is only 100 yards long, or 300 feet.
Yasiel Puig, the Dodgers' hulking right fielder, threw a baseball so far at Coors Field on Friday night, he could have reached the heavens with his arm alone.
A sign on the green wall in front of the Rockies' bullpen at Coors Field marks "375" feet from home plate. From just inside the warning track, Puig barehanded a ball off that wall, hopped into momentum and rainbowed a throw about 360 feet on a line to third base.
