}} Glen Edward Gorbous (July 8, 1930 - June 12, 1990[1]) was a Canadian baseball player who holds the current world record for longest throw of a baseball, 135.89m (445 feet, 10 inches).[2] The feat took place on August 1, 1957, while he was playing for the Omaha Cardinals of the American Association. In an exhibition he was given a six-step running start and threw the ball 445 feet and ten inches from the far right field corner of the stadium to the far left hand corner. Gorbous's world record was set only after his brief major league baseball career had already ended. Gorbous played outfield for the Cincinnati Redlegs, in early 1955, and the Philadelphia Phillies, from mid-1955 to May, 1957.[3] References1. ^Sports Illustrated, retrieved 23 June 2007 2. ^Glen Gorbous at baseball library {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071001002232/http://www.baseballlibrary.com/ballplayers/player.php?name=Glen_Gorbous_1930&page=chronology |date=2007-10-01 }}, retrieved 23 June 2007 3. ^Baseball Prospectus retrieved 23 June 2007 External links{{Baseballstats|br=g/gorbogl01}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Gorbous, Glen}}{{Canada-baseball-outfielder-stub}} 17 : 1930 births|1990 deaths|Baseball people from Alberta|Bisbee-Douglas Copper Kings players|Canadian expatriate baseball players in the United States|Cincinnati Redlegs players|Major League Baseball right fielders|Philadelphia Phillies players|Elmira Pioneers players|Fort Worth Cats players|Medford Nuggets players|Miami Marlins (IL) players|Omaha Cardinals players|Pueblo Dodgers players|Spokane Indians players|Major League Baseball players from Canada|People from Drumheller |
