Giambi wears golden thong and shares it with teammates

The key to turning the New York Yankees season around could be under Jason Giambi's pinstriped pants. The Yankee slugger revealed Friday he slips on a gold lamé 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." "I may need to wear it again soon," said Damon, who is batting a mediocre .255.
What is the secret of Giambi's golden thong?
"You're not worrying about your hands or your balance at the plate," Damon said. "You're worried about the uncomfortable feeling you're receiving."

WOW.
Embarrassing for them - Very disgusting for us the baseball fan. Why would you ever admit to something like that either?!? I have a horrible image in my mind now...I hate the Yankees.

Giambi is stealing bits from Susan Sarandon. Lame.

My question
Has he ever washed the thong, or is not washing it part of the superstition?
Inquiring minds want to know.

David Murphy rocks, so Ellsbury can just go get himself a taco or something.
So this is not a joke? This isn't the onion?
This is quite possibly more ridiculous then the stuff they come up with.
Baseball players
are very superstitious creatures. I doubt sharing panties is the oddest thing they have ever done.
Oddest?...probably not...but
Quite possibly the last thing that you’d probably want to make public. Which almost made it fake reading.
