Giambi's magical golden thong

The key to turning the Yankees season around could be under Jason Giambi's pinstriped pants. The Yankee slugger revealed Friday he slips on a gold lame thong with a flame-line waistband when he's trying to get out of a hitting slump - and he's shared it with his teammates. "It works every time," Giambi told the Daily News after his secret was outed on Portfolio.com. Derek Jeter agreed that Giambi's thong works, although "it's so uncomfortable running around the bases." "I had it over my shorts and stuff," he said. "I was 0-for-32 and I hit a homer on the first pitch. That's the only time I've ever worn it." Johnny Damon also admitted donning the golden panties "probably three times."
