That is a football field in length.

Correct.

Nobody can throw a rock that far.

Incorrect - depends on the size of the rock.

Major leage outfielders can't throw a baseball that far.

Not with any accuracy - but guys like Don Grate have thrown baseballs well over 400 feet.

98 and 99 yard passes have been completed in the NFL and incomplete passes that far have been thrown many times in NFL and college play.

Shotputters can throw a 16 lb metal ball 60 feet and further.

Golf balls, which weigh an ounce and a half, have been thrown over 400 feet as well.

The longest pass in the air was 83 yards thrown by Don Meridith to Bob Hays (249 feet)

I have not been able to find a statistic for longest throw in the air for a baseball. They keep track of the total throw with roll in a game.

No one is going to throw a rock 300 feet. Washington wasn’t a baseball player either.
