Joe started out as a pitcher on the mill league team, but because he threw the ball so hard and broke the catchers arm, they placed him in the outfield.

I heard he could throw the ball over 450 feet (or wuzzat 400? ).. mmkay? & that the average schmuck could throw one about 250..
I, OTOH, have never been "average" in the throwing department,,
I woulda won the Presidential Fitness award 4 times IF I could have thrown a soft ball a decent distance. Coach stood about 2/3rds of the way out, with his ever present clip board,, & I reared back & gave it my all.. hit him in the foot.. Ohh the look I got,,
How to say loser without moving your lips..
