Don't know, but I doubt 723 feet off a 88mph exit velocity is possible on Earth, even with physically unrealizable backspin. At a high enough spin rate I think the ball would come back like a boomerang, if it didn't disintegrate first.

It's possible they were playing in a part of Colorado with anomalous local gravity. Reeeeeeaaally anomalous, like a medium sized asteroid.
