While trawling through Dontrelle Willis's page on wikipedia earlier this week, I noticed this interesting little nugget of information:

Can be seen in Chappelle's Show Season 2 Episode 5 along with former Marlins friend and teammate Josh Beckett

D-Train and Josh Beckett palling around together on Chappelle's Show? I had to see this. (and reader Meg had the same idea- she saw that little tidbit as well) Lo and behold, it's true:

There they are - in episode 5 of season 2, which aired back in February of 2004 and therefore must've been filmed shortly after the Marlins won the 2003 World Series. Josh and Dontrelle are not guests on the show, or even announced as being in the audience. The camera just pans across the front row, and there are two noticeably huge guys with their legs sprawled out that are hard to miss. I find it fascinating to learn that D-Train and Beckett are buds, hanging out together in their offseason. It's rather charming - because I adore them both.

And of course you know I have video for you - this was a great episode anyway, it's the one with the Prince playing basketball sketch. But I've just got the opening monologue and last few seconds of the show, when the guys are onscreen.
