The Guillen Throw (July 2, 1998): At Coors Field, Pirates rookie Jose Guillen gathered a drive off the right-field warning track fence and fired an unbelievable 285-foot laser beam directly into the third baseman's glove without a single hop, retiring Neifi Perez. Widely cited as the greatest outfield throw in MLB history.
