Umpire Pulls Live Moth Out Of His Ear

During Wednesday night’s Yankees-White Sox game, and unusual interruption happened when an umpire left the field due to something in his ear.

Umpire Bruce Dreckman had some help from Yankees trainer Steve Donohue in finding and removing the problem. Which so happened to be a moth, that was still flapping around as they pulled it out.

While this was happening the game continued without the umpire, and once the moth was removed Dreckman returned to the field.
