Other items in Matt Holliday's ear

In a bizarre incident Monday night in St. Louis, Cardinals OF Matt Holliday had to leave the game against the Dodgers when a moth took refuge in his ear.

Seriously.

While as odd as that was, this was not the end of the story.  A source close to us here (a good friend of mine took ear moth removal class* with the Cardinals' trainer) has more to add to this story.  And it gets good.


What the St. Louis Cardinals failed to inform the media was that wasn't all they were forced to remove from  Holliday's ear.  It would appear dead insects aren't the only items as the crew from Hoarders had to be called in to handle the clean up.  And what exactly did they find there??
