Dontrelle Willis "Facts"

Dontrelle Willis is invincible. If you don't believe me, check out this picture:

That's the car that Willis was driving one day early in 2003. In case you can't tell, that was a Ford Mustang. Dontrelle was driving when the car rolled over on the freeway.

He walked away from the accident unharmed.

Later that year he made his major league debut. Shortly after that, he won the Rookie of the Year award and played a large role in the Marlins winning the World Series.

Thus, the evidence clearly indicates that Dontrelle Willis, whether you call him the D-Train or the A-Train, is invincible.

Granted, that example of Mr. Willis is true. But what I'm hoping to do here today is to have some fun by creating some "facts" about Willis' greatness, which may or may not be true. Inspired both by facts about Chuck Norris (which, by the way, Norris approves of) and a thread over at White Sox Insider about Kenny Williams (the White Sox GM, for those of you who missed the World Series), I thought it would be fun to make up a list of "facts" about our own Dontrelle Willis. If you want, you can use another Marlin, but Willis (along with Cabrera) is about all that we've got right now.

In case you're not familiar with this, here are some of my favorites about Kenny Williams:

  • This year the World Series Rings will be made out of the actual World Series as Kenny Williams has learned how to bend and shape space and time.
  • Kenny Williams does not work for the Chicago White Sox. The Chicago White Sox work for Kenny Williams.
  • Kenny Williams doesn't eat churros, he swallows them whole.
  • When Kenny Williams jumps into the ocean, he doesn't get wet. The water gets Williams.
  • Kenny Williams played Russian Roulete with a fully loaded gun and won.
  • Kenny Williams was never born like a mortal man. Mortal men are babies first. Kenny Williams simply willed himself into existence.
  • Kenny Williams does not hunt because the word hunting infers the probability of failure. Kenny Williams goes killing.
  • On the 7th day, God rested...Kenny Williams however, signed Garland to a new deal.

And here are a few about Chuck Norris:


  • Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried.
  • Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.
  • Chuck Norris counted to infinity - twice.
  • The chief export of Chuck Norris is pain.
  • If Chuck Norris is late, time better slow down.

I'll add some about Dontrelle:

  • When the umpire says, "Play ball", Dontrelle Willis says, "Say please."
  • There are two kinds of major league pitchers: those that suck and Dontrelle Willis.
  • Dontrelle Willis never uses doors. The thunderous might of his fists can reduce any wall to rubble, yet he strikes with such precision that only a Dontrelle Willis-sized hole is smashed through the wall. Anything else would be excessive.

Totally missed this before
I assumed your comment was Wiggins' when I left the earlier comment. I missed that he deleted his.

Apparently this is the winner
Dontrelle Willis is so dominant that most people are afraid to try to put his abilities into words.*

* Other than Wiggins, who came up with a good one.

I thought it sucked.
which is why I deleted it.

More HB now.

I don't care if I'm the only one who's amused
Dontrelle Willis knows how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie pop.

While we wait for comments
That's Wiggins with the boom box, me in the middle, and Craig on the right...

I love that commercial.
And I have no problem being the DJ.  Thanks.

I did.
Good link.  Wish I was cool enough to do that crap.

But then again - we all know I suck.

I found it somewhere else...
and waited for a way to work it in.

I'd love to find that Citibank commercial
The one where the geeky looking guy says "BIG BOY" into his phone a couple times.

Not sure I've seen that one.

It's hysterical
The guy wants to know his balance (or something stupid and simple) and he has to give them his blood type, password, and all kinds of crap.

But there is no dancing.
And that subject, for whatever reason, made me think of the old SNL skit "Sprockets". We need a Sprockets like feature on FishStripes.

Welcome to FishStripes... now we dance... do you want to touch my monkey?

I think it's getting close to Mike's bedtime. And yes, I'm sober.

by mike42 on Jan 19, 2006 11:07 PM EST up reply actions  

What's point of that?
Like Louis Jordan said - "what's the point of gettin's sober - when you know you're just gonna get drunk again?"

Sadly?
I haven't had a drink in... well, since New Year's? Maybe... No - once since then.

I haven't been drunk since before Christmas.

Damn, I feel old. I'm going to bed.

You and me both.
Good night, sir.

Milk
Remember the batboy who was suspended during the 05 season for the milk incident?

Well, that kid only took the bet because he'd just seen Dontrelle Willis drink two gallons of milk in the span of ten minutes.

And another....
Dontrelle doesn't have to throw hard, the ball is so scared of him it runs away at 90mph
I smell like dead people

Some more
Dontrelle Willis walks batters, but only when it amuses him.
Dontrelle Willis chose to pitch instead of hit, because he feared killing too may pitchers.

You'll notice that fans don't usually run onto the field at Dolphins Stadium during Marlins games.  That's because before they get the chance, Dontrelle sees their thoughts and stops them by the sheer force of his will.  (OK, not so great.)

You think Dontrelle was great last year?  This year, he might even try.
