So.. this is a first for me. I've heard of all sorts of crazy superstitions but to wear a thong, then share it with your teammates, is kind of odd.
"Baseball players are legendary for their superstitions, but Jason Giambi's technique for snapping a batting slump may rank among the strangest : He puts on a gold lame, tiger-striped thong. "I only put it on when I'm desperate to get out of a big slump," he told Portfolio.com.
Giambi has shared his slump-breaker with other Yankees, including Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams, Johnny Damon , Robin Ventura and Robinson Cano.
"All of them wore it and got hits," he said. "The thong works every time.""
Alright... Read the whole story, it doesn't get any less weird.
