Matt Holliday - OF - Cardinals



Matt Holliday had the moth removed from his right ear shortly after leaving Monday's game.

Holliday looked to be experiencing a serious amount of discomfort when he made his exit from the playing field, but he should recover fine. The Cardinals' medical staff first tried to lure the moth out by taking Holliday into a dark room, then decided to simply pluck the bug out with a pair of tweezers. The slugger is likely to be in the St. Louis starting lineup Tuesday.



This happened to me last fall. Was opening the front door, had the porch light on, moths flying around and zip right in the ear. Discomfort is right. Had the sucker buzzing in there for 2 hours until the ER doc took it out. Now my kid holds his hands over his ears at night when we're outside. :rolleyes: freak !

I laughed when I first read that report on Holiday, then I thought about it...a moth in the ear could not be a lot of fun. So I went out and bought some earmuffs...

Those suckers can hurt!

Wayne - that kind of looks like a... ok, wouldn't mind THAT stuck in my ear



It was bigger than that Emory ! Or so it seemed.

I wonder the odds of a moth flying into your ear vs winning $100K in high stakes fantasy baseball

I hear ya bro ! That's how I looked. I wish I had a trainer in my house - he's a lot more compassionate than my wife !

Hope everybody in NFBCville is doing awesome!
