Thanks gonefishin for this interesting info. I, too, had never heard of Gehrig's throw. FWIW, Gehrig's throw was across the Harlem River, whereas Johnson's throw was across The Rappahannock River.
I'm thinking the difference in the distance of their throws, 430' by Gehrig vs. 317' by Johnson, is possibly/probably explained by their age difference - Gehrig was 32 and still at the peak of his career, whereas Johnson was 48 (if my math is correct).
