Above you see umpire Bruce Dreckman pulling a live moth out of his ear canal. It’s only 11 seconds long and it’s still one of the most unsettling things I’ve seen in a long time. But I think the short clip obscures just how horrifying an ordeal this was.
Check out the full video:
There you see that the bug was crawling around inside Dreckman’s head for about three minutes. Yankees trainer Steve Donahue tried in vain to extricate the moth with a long cotton swab and so Dreckman was forced to fish around inside his ear himself.
