Major League Baseball All Star Matt Holliday has suffered from a different kind of injury bug. Australia's No.1 Export Lauren Jackson Vote: Aussies who have taken the USA by storm Start of sidebar. Skip to end of sidebar. End of sidebar. Return to start of sidebar. In a bizarre episode, a moth got stuck deep in Holliday's right ear, forcing the St Louis Cardinals man to walk off the field while Los Angeles Dodgers batted in the eighth inning. With two outs, Holliday called time in left field and started toward the dugout holding his ear. Cardinals trainer Barry Weinberg met Holliday and tried to help. "He had a moth fly into his ear, deep into his ear. I don't even know what happened to it," Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said moments after his team's 2-1 loss. Team spokesman Brian Bartow said Holliday was taken into a dark room and trainers put a light by his ear, trying to lure the insect out. That didn't work, so they used a utensil to get the moth, which was still alive, out of Holliday's ear. Holliday was not available for comment after the game but appeared to be OK, Bartow said. www.foxsports.com.au/other-sports/major-league-baseball-all-star-and-st-louis-cardinals-man-matt-holliday-lands-a-moth-in-the-ear/story-e6frf56c-1226120892531
