In case you've been living under a rock for the past 17.2 innings,
Dontrelle Willis is back. That frenetic, majestic delivery of his, which you see to the right, was a piece of Major League Baseball canon when he pitched for the
Marlins. It was as
Bob Gibson as one can get in this decade.
To understand the real-life resurgence of D-Train, I strongly suggest you read
Andrew Johnson's piece. To understand his place in the history of The Dugout, I suggest you read
our Wikipedia entry. Good Lord, I'm glad he's back.
Your battle rap of a Dugout is after the jump.
