Margerum wasn't that fast. I was there when he ran a couple of 4.7s for NFL scouts. 

Jerry Rice ran a 4.71.  I'm guessing it's fast enough.

BUT speaking of throws from RF to 3B the best I ever saw on TV was from Reggie Jackson in the 70's.  It was a fly ball to the corner in deep right.  The runner at 2nd tagged but stopped dead in his tracks when Reggie uncorked a seed to 3B on the fly.  The crowd let loose a big "oooh" at that one.  It was either one of the All-star games or maybe the WS against the Mets, was not at home.

For me, it was Jack Clark playing RF for the Giants.  Clark had a cannon.  He led the league in OF double plays four times, assists twice.  I saw him play against the Dodgers, and he threw the ball from the right field corner to home plate on the fly...I don't think the ball got 10 feet off the ground.  The entire crowd gasped.  He froze the runner at third base...might have been Lopes.
