New York Yankees first baseman Jason Giambi is claiming he wears a gold lamé, tiger-stripe thong when he is struggling at the plate and needing to break out of a hitting slump.

“I only put it on when I’m desperate to get out of a big slump,” he tells Portfolio.com.

Over the years, the 37-year-old All-Star has left the “golden thong” in the lockers of slumping teammates Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams, Johnny Damon, Robin Ventura and Robinson Cano.

“All of them wore it and got hits,” he reports. “The thong works every time.”

This news is just plain disturbing and nasty.  No wonder the Yankees are in last place when they are sharing women’s panties to wear under the sacred pinstripes.

Either Giambi lost the thong or the thong lost its power because Jason is batting just .181 with 7 homers this season.  He batted .236 last year.
Giambi is making $23.3 million dollars this year.  Second in the big leagues, only behind teammate Alex Rodriguez.
