Parker's throws were awesome in that game. Turned the whole game around. One at the plate and then at third. Clemente threw out Davey Johnson, albeit he's slow, the throw was dead on. Mays catch was the awesome part, not the throw. The runner had to retreat back to the bag. So if it's the throw we're debating, and these are the guys we have to choose from..Clemente wins hands down.

Parkers throws in that allstar game were exceptional, Clemente's throw in the 71 world series was all that more impressive when you realize he threw a strike basically spinning blind from the RF corner.
But that throw that Bo Jackson made was simply defying humanity.
From the deep left corner of Royals Stadium, which is a very deep park, he threw a strike to home plate, no bounce, that nailed the runner by 10 feet. simply unbelievable. I wish Bo would have been around baseball alot longer, he was a truly amazing unique athlete.
